I mean, most people I know are rightfully holding a permanent grudge over MongoDB shipping with all forms of data safety disabled in order to look fast (and I am not even sure if it had working safety features anyway), when disabling the same features in normal relational databases that supported such disabling made MongoDB look pointless. The memes back in the day were all about "database engineers running with scissors" (and there was a great photo of a bunch of bearded people in pocket shirts running with scissors that I can't find right now). The product essentially lied and cheated its way to prominence, and forever lost the trust of anyone who was paying attention (or who cares enough about their craft and tools to study history).
