> If you have a lot of relations in your data don't use mongo, it's just hype. You will end up with collections without relations and then do joins in your code instead of having db do it for you.

So... you are not against MongoDB but against NoSQL in general? I've used MongoDB and I've never ended up with lots of joins in my code. But I guess it all depends on the use case and how you've structured your data. Document databases are not a silver bullet.
