This subthread is about the future, not the past. 8 years ago, PG didn't have json support so your point is moot.

I'm very curious about what people think about the future of Mongo, independently and particularly in comparison to Postgres. However every time that comes up, people keep bringing up that Mongo was a buggy piece of crap in some irrelevant past. So what?

8 years ago PG did have replication though, so not sure why it not having feature X 8 years ago makes my point moot.

People keep bringing up that it was a buggy piece of crap because its the icing on the cake and pretty much something you never want your database to be, past or present. Not that software configured by default to eat your data and not persist it can be called a database mind you.
