This is like comparing SQLite to Oracle. They have totally different 
use cases.

Even beyond that again, AFIO is not a database. It's a set of 
primitives from which one can build file system applications which 
could include a database.

Your argument is like rejecting Boost.Atomic because Microsoft Office 
lets you do office documents faster and better.
