I think the guy who'll be interested in Datomic isn't going to be looking for a data store describable in a few sentences, like "NoSQL with feature X". It looks to me like a NoSQL-ish Datalog with Clojure-style concurrency, reified by its distribution model. You would only go with that sort of thing if you know how it works, or are interested in experimenting and learning about it. It's not something the guy looking for "data store, alternative to SQL, meeting requirements X Y and Z" would choose.

Actually it seems like it's something that this hypothetical guy would be very interested in, given that Datomic is being pitched as an alternative to SQL.
