I'll throw in my 2c. It was my first adventure into a Node.js CMS and used MongoDB for it's database. I'm a Javascript and Frontend Developer.

I've found it chaotically buggy - that is, sometimes it's great, amazing, works as expected and other times it simple fails quietly and in such a way I can't reverse easily - chaotic.

Saving changes to fields is hit-and-miss. Anything 'metadata'-related towards fields is a scary thing now. We use it for a particularly lightweight project but I wish we didn't after experiencing it enough now.

Note: I'm aware of its status, I still think they consider themselves 'alpha' and the developer that chose this was aware of the risks.
