I'll have to give it another look but the killer missing feature for me is windowing functions. They don't exist in SQLite when I looked at it last (within the last 6 months or so).
The callbacks on datachange are nice. They sound similar to change data capture in SQLServer.

Yes. There is a difference, though: SQLite is embedded, and there is zero latency between an application and its database.
This means that change notifications can be emitted synchronously right after a committed transaction, allowing the application to process the change before any other change could be performed.
This makes it much easier to get a very robust solution for a whole class of database synchronization problems.
