We could also make the opposite argument - people use json unless they have a specific reason for using jsonb.
btw, there is one more thing about JSON which I recently learned - a lot of JavaScript people actually expect the JSON binary form to retain field order It is not in any specs, but nevertheless all major imlementations do it and some code depends on it. IIRC, this behaviour is currently also met only by json and not by jsonb. > Merlin: We should present them side-by-side with a complex comparison. > Robert: Josh wants to junk all relational data and use only jsonb!
