Only RethinkDB gets you a) working changefeeds, where you can receive real-time changefeed updates to your queries, b) a well-implemented and Jepsen-proven distributed database.
As far as I know, there is no other solution which gets both things right.
I use it in PartsBox (https://partsbox.io/), a solution for keeping track of electronic components.
I am surprised more people aren't interested in changefeeds — the way I see it, it's the only way to implement multi-user webapps which update in real-time (as in: a change is made in one session and all other open sessions get the update immediately).
