Most ORMs use dot notation, even for mongo (e.g. mongo engine) to build queries. I think the mongo queries are more true to what it should be since dot notation in most languages implies a function/method is being called and order matters in those cases. Here it's just acting like a query builder that runs with .run(). Under the same effect I'm not a fan of mongo style query({}).limit(count).skip(num) format and usually I move the limit and skip into the initial query.
