Aphyr did the same "Call Me Maybe" posts for other databases as well, highlighting their shortcomings. MongoDB has issues, but other databases have their rough edges as well. It all depends on how you use them. For a group of people that know nothing but hammers, screwdrivers don't make much sense. This feels often what these "bash Mongo" arguments sound like. There is no silver bullet. Just flippin' understand the tool you are using and how to use it. |

If people understand Mongo and its shortcomings, then fair enough. The thing is, those shortcomings are large and far-reaching, and the number of applications for which Mongo is a truly superior long-term choice are relatively few. It's my perception that when the hype around Mongo peaked there was an awful lot of ignorance surrounding the product - the current behaviour towards it is probably a reaction to that.
