The general mood I observed about MongoDB was that it used to be inconsistent and unreliable but they fixed most, if not all of those problems and they now have a stable product but bad word of mouth among developers. Personally, I've treated it as "legacy" and migrated everything that I had to touch since 2013 [0], and luckily (just read the article so hindsight 20/20 -- transaction running twice and seeing its own updates? holy...) never gave it another try. [0]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6801970 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6801970 (BTW: no, my dream of simple migration never materialized, but exporting and dumping data to Postgres JSONB columns and rewriting queries turned out to be neither buggy nor hard).

This report is 9 days old, and tests the latest stable release of MongoDB. The problems it discusses are present on modern MongoDB.

  If it wasn't clear, I said "mood" (what you conveniently ignored), referring to chit-chat I heard recently, and was underlining the fact how wrong it has been. I totally understand what the report says and know what version it tests.

    In my defense, it wasn't clear that's what you were saying in your original comment. "Mood" has become a filler word at this point -- hence why I omitted it from the quote -- and can mean anything from the traditional meaning of "mood in the room" to "incredibly relatable/factual statement". How I originally understood your comment was that you were saying that you felt that most of the issues are in the past, but you still decided to migrate away from it.

      English is not my mother language and given the down-votes, probably it's my wording at fault here - sorry. I'm glad now that it's been clarified :)
