I'm just finishing off a project that was built using Mongo and I've run into this as well. Other gotchas too, like feeling like you can store any old json structure in your db when you can't. Dots are reserved because they're part of the query syntax. Fair enough, but it's pretty crappy to have to unpick a whole data structure because it was fine until a random bit of UGC was entered (that's where my last fews hours just went). It does feel like the data and the query syntax are too crossed over to me.
