I like memcached, but its really not redis's fault if you set it up as a volatile cache but people treat it as a persistent data store.

The comparison is especially weird as memcached is also not persistent.

At many companies (I want to say most), Redis is seen as an actual durable production database and operated that way, not just as a cache that can disappear at any time. It's not unreasonable for a new dev to assume this unless told otherwise.
