I feel like the discussion of MongoDB is a bit like the discussion around the Affordable Care Act (aka "Obamacare"). The conversation always shifts between whether the very idea of a noSQL db is a good one, to the question of Mdb's implementation faults and (I guess?) its strengths. Whether 10gen are vapid spin-meisters or not, even whether they have developed a usable product, seems orthogonal to the question as to whether a schemaless persistent storage layer might be a better fit for some projects than a relational database.
