What did you like about RelaxDB over the DM Adapter? Was it not as
flexible?
So far I really like the simplicity of CouchObject. That could change
if I start doing anything more complex I guess.

The DataMapper version is "ok" (I've hacked it a long time ago to work with 0.8.1), I've used it before with success and it's handling of views is really nice (just DataMapper.auto_migrate!) but I've really come to enjoy Paul Carey's RelaxDB - http://github.com/paulcarey/relaxdb/tree/master
Some things to try out when looking at the various libraries:
Does it handle attachments well?
Does it handle paging (in an intelligent manner)?
How does it handle my views when creating them or when I need to update them?
Can I easily relate a class to it?
Can I validate the contents of what I'm saving in a clear, concise manner?
That's my two cents...
Brad

did you look at datamapper? I'm somewhat interested in datamapper but I'm leery of being tied to a sql orm.

I'm leery of being tied to a sql orm.

I use CouchRest (http://github.com/jchris/couchrest/tree/master) and
have been very happy with it. It has both a low-level API:
response = @db.save({:key => 'value', 'another key' => 'another value'})
doc = @db.get(response['id'])
and an ActiveRecord like model class:
class Course < CouchRest::Model
key_accessor :title
cast :questions, :as => ['Question']
cast :professor, :as => 'Person'
view_by :title
view_by :dept, :ducktype => true
end
