In my experience with Neo4J a few years ago, i naively used it as my primary DB. The latency (not suprising given its JVM based) was painful and often there are classic relational aspects that we tried to capture in the graph.

This is ENTIRELY MY FAULT - not Neo4j, they never market it as that - just as MongoDb never markets itself as a true replace for relational problems.

But that said there is plenty to not like about Neo4j if you don't use it right - so make sure you use it for what you need and not what you don't need

I was at a Neo4j intro meetup earlier in the week. They do market it as a primary DB. Maybe the capabilities are different now.
