Interesting. I started using CouchDB since 2.0+. So, I am not aware of
the benefits of the older versions. I will look into those releases.
However, it appears that they won't be maintained in the future.
I couldn't agree more about PouchDB for Web.

CouchDB as it is now will be a poor fit for embedded systems/IoTs.
This is too bold and broad, sorry. Indeed, 2.x is poor fit, because it
demands regular if not daily maintenance and has substantial amount of
issues. With no doubts FDB-based release will have even more problems, not
because of FDB or IoT by itself, but because any re-architectured solution
is full of issues and not yet covered corner cases.
However, 1.x is ok for some IoT scenaria, esp if you use Erlang for
CPU-intensive query server functions. Latest 1.x releases have very good
balance in terms of reliability/speed, and require no additional SW (except
probably nginx) – which is especially valuable.
Having 1.x CouchDB installed on devices, which are physically remote from
service is reasonable choice: Couch 1.x is famous for it’s ability to work
without requiring administrative intervention for years. Couch ability to
receive QS functions updates using regular replication is invaluable for
long-running distributed IoT projects.
As for Pouch – it’s a wonderful solution for browsers, however it can be
easily knocked out when acts as a server.
