Instead of insulting me with the implication that I don't keep up with major technologies in my industry, you probably would've been more convincing if you'd told me what's changed since 2012. However, I do keep up with Mongo, and I do know what's changed.
It still doesn't make me want to use it. Relational data is better for most applications, Redis is better for many others, and I can have both documents and relational data in the same database with PG[1].
It seems like many other people with Mongo experience feel the same way[2].

I don't see a ton of hatred and fear from Cisco, Facebook and Google.
I dig what they've done, especially facebook, with MongoDB. Reconsider 2012 opinions and read about 2017's MongoDB.
