Competly aside from the Article. The level of vitriolic discourse in this topic is astounding. I am amazed that as a community discussions of Database engines can draw out such mean spirited anger. I have never down voted as many comments on HN in a single thread then I have on this topic. I don't care which side of the debate you come down on. There is no excuse for belittleing and insulting others in a technical forum. Thats right I am looking at you

I have never been upvoted so much on HN. I admit to strong opinions and light sarcasm but you'll have to show me where I've been uncivil, belittling or insulting, except perhaps in response to people who insulted me.

Perhaps you can direct me to the download site. I think the bigger issue is that there isn't a lot of discussion from the NoSQL crowd about what you give up when you go to a NoSQL solution. I think that sort of disclosure would help people weigh the options a lot better. From the comments of some people here you'd almost think they would build an ERP app in Mongo....
