Sounds like the information you've been given is in the wrong context.

I've had MongoDb running on my laptop in less than 5 mins and used it locally for multiple projects without issues.

The kind of problems you mention probably occur on very heavy use but i've never witnessed it myself.

For small scale stuff and getting up and running quickly, i've not used anything as convenient as Mongo

Note: I'm on Windows.

Also consider MongoHQ - They have a really good Start-Up package.
