Unfair comparisons aside, no one is "bashing" MongoDB. These criticisms have been levied for years (as the article demonstrates by its byline). These complaints have been levied not just because we should expect more reliability from corporate-backed database products, but because _they run counter to the advertising and technical literature_ that 10gen produced. It is not "bashing" to say, "I do not like this and by the way, it's unsafe." Especially when the Mongo project has been so resistant to fixing these core issues and instead are happy to sell expensive consulting and training on workarounds for the issue rather than addressing their core technology's issues.
