>From my current experiences ... the people do not choose OODBs, because in the mainstream languages the stuff is simply not visible (market share). The knowledge is not there and the biggest problem - a programming interfaces are not available.
People use RDBMS oder NoSQl systems, because these systems offer a programming model to developers - even if they are simply bad. And they offer language independent access to the data. Some people are moving from RDBMS to NoSQL-system, because they hope to get more OO-programming in the database. Thats also a problem with Gemstone/S. Its a wonderful database, but it offers no default programming model to external developers - so it will never be attractive to non-Smalltalk developers.
