For me, NoSQL works great when the structure of the data is unclear but you have a fixed identifier that you can key off. SQL when the structure is known and juggling multi-table transactions is not a big PITA.

I'm not sure about the mongoDB nightmare, for me its done everything as the documentation claims it'll do.

If the structure of the data changes why wouldn't you modify the schema? Could you give an example of what you are talking about?
