I felt the same when my previous company was stubbornly using MongoDB for its "flexibility" and we ran into all sorts of issues (following which we slowly migrated to Postgres -- having solid ORM libraries with similar interfaces helped).

  Haha, making real money is indeed a good point :) But, can't it be argued that in fact if Twitter disappeared overnight, it would have some tangible effects on the earnings of many businesses that use the platform for advertising/brand presence?
