The guy is getting such hate on the comments on his site, yet his opening line is that his choice was ill thought. Let him express his issues right?

I choose MongoDB for my last side project and while it was awesome working schema-less and developing the client facing part of the project was certainly quicker to deliver, i feel pretty lost on the analytics/BI side of it and couldn't say it better than him: "Not having JOINs makes your data an intractable lump of mud"

So coming from a relational/SQL background I found MongoDb awesome upfront, but frustrating later on... and yes I'm off to learn http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/applications/aggregation/
