I heard about two cases when MongoDB failed doing The Most Important Thing - storing data. No one really care about autosharding, no migrations etc. if you can't store the data. Due to some replication issue data was inconsistent.

But can't this happen to any db system? Mongo is pretty new and I'm not surprised things like this happens from time to time until the kinks are worked out. The new version of Mongo looks pretty good as well.

Not really, no database is this careless with user data.

Mongo is just really bad quality. Never use it, there's always something better in every way.

Riak is a good call. A SQL db would be nice too.
