I used it once when it first came out just to kick the tires. What a remarkably convenient API it had. NoSQL/"Document store" stuff was relatively new (to me, at least). Did the convenient API contribute to whatever design problems they had? No idea. But if they had problems with durability then it really is all for naught. I didn't get beyond prototyping so I never saw whatever issues caused them to get so much ire.
