I’ve never heard of anyone who actually uses mnesia for real or would consider it prime-time. I’m no Oracle fanboy but comparing their DB to mnesia is like comparing an oil rig driller to a fisher price screwdriver.

I didn't till I had to become one of them this year. Mnesia is real, it's prime time, but not in place of something like Oracle.

Better analogy would be Comparing SQL Server to Redis. Mnesia is, at it's heart, a(n optionally) Transactional K-V lookup that can be run distributed. It's use case it works VERY well, but I wouldn't consider it a substitute for Relational storage.
