Neo4j is basically a really old design refreshed. The advantages are that it's fast, dynamic, and schema-free, and fairly lispy in its inherently recursive structure. The disadvantages are that it's messy, can't be "joined" but only traversed (this is bad especially for data mining and reporting), is hard to data dump, and at the moment neo4j runs in-process with no multi-user access.
