You do realize it's 2017 now, right? Many things have changed in MongoDB (and in the IT world in general) during the last 5 years. MongoDB is a mature, established, full-featured database - recognized by Gartner as a "challenger" to more established RDBMS vendors like Oracle and Microsoft.

I'm sure it's better today. I'm talking about my experience back then. It may be a challenger, but it still has tradeoffs that system architects need to factor in when making database decisions.

Still no transaction control. It's not going anywhere any time soon.
