10gen might become a victim of it's own popularity. I have heard:

* Yes, playing with Mongo is playing with fire. Know what you are doing. We don't claim that you should use us as your only database.

* We're going to fix these issues soon. The beginning days of MySQL etc were also frightening, with Oracle and MS SQL Server admins warning of all the dangerous things that can happen.

If they confront their issues, I think it's just a matter of time before Mongo wins the NoSQL race. They have what matters most - good people, a brand, and great expectations from customers.
