Yes, MongoDB really is that bad. Never use it.

Use rethinkdb instead. Its not perfect but it mainly hits the same niche but does it right.

Or anything else, for that matter. Postgres, MySQL, even SQLite beats Mongo for any use-case. Cassandra, HBase if you need a distributed DB. RethinkDB when it gets mature.

MongoDB is in its own class of terribleness.

RethinkDB looks promising, but it's a bit early.
