Schemaless is awesome. Are you dba or a developer? If you're a developer like me schemaless is awesome because of it's flexibility. I focus less time on the how to do stuff and more time on the what stuff should we do.

I've been using Hibernate for 9 years and I finally came to the conclusion that it's just not worth the pain. When working on RDBMS I'm using straight SQL from now on.

Schemaless also dispenses with the ability to declare what correct data is in the schema. For critical apps that's a high caliber footgun. For critical apps that have to integrate with eachother, it's a nice piece of artillery aimed squarely at your foot.
