After using SQL for most of my career, I'm now working on a product using MongoDB. Removing the need for schema migrations has been such a boon for productivity. You essentially push the work of migrating to the app code, where it can be done incrementally, and with a far better programming language than SQL. It's been well worth the trade offs, on my opinion.
