Missing or lacking documentation is the major factor here.
There aren't really many (if any) alternatives or improvements to the default driver.
The ease of importing data and having a dashboard / console included was nice especially with regards to the search functionality.
The abundant packages and ecosystems for other solutions are sadly missing too.

RavenDb does all the heavy lifting for you in 99% of cases. The API is easy to work with and lets you write very readable code. There is a small learning curve at the start but this is true for any tech. Raven's curve is easy to get over.
