Why wouldn't you just use anything else that can manage to insert/read data without losing it?

I don't really understand the angle of "can I get away with it anyways, tho?"

Some of us are already using MongoDB and are not so keen on replacing it.

If you read back the discussion was scoped to "new projects". By jospehg:

It's about making tradeoffs. If MongoDB works for you (I actually enjoy using it tremendously) then I have to ask myself am I ok with its non-perfect integrity. For my use cases this isn't a problem. I'm not working with customer data or anything where losing a few records would make any difference at all.
