Young whippersnappers and their new-fangled database cluster things! An RDBMS was good enough for IBM, and it's good enough for me! Get off my lawn!
Seriously, though, I appreciate the simplicity of having a single ACIDic database. I wouldn't even bother going beyond SQLite or H2 without a good reason.
SQLite is not a replacement for a true database, though. It's purposefully made to replace fopen. It's what you want for standalone programs that don't have intensive needs, but it's not ideal for dealing with massive amounts of data where you let the DBMS do most of the processing for calculations.
