My big issue with MongoDB is similar to this Potts quote

“I have no problem with god - it's his fan club that scares me.”

MongoDB works fine in niche situations of trying to store large blobs of JSON with extremely different elements. But for the vast majority of cases, data is highly relational. So Mongo is just a crutch that companies like because of the lower skill ceiling. Most of these startups can't be bothered to pay high enough to recruit people who payed attention during their databases lecture. In the long run, it just creates a jumbled mess of db code.
