I disagree. Node and MongoDb have both had very strong growth for several years now across a wide variety of users from individual hackers to the largest companies. While I'm skeptical of MongoDb's long term prospects due to its underlying technology and tight sponsorship I can understand the appeal of it's ease of use, especially for development. Node and JavaScript, on the other hand, seem clearly here to stay. While far from perfect are becoming deeply embedded in many key areas. And even if you don't like MongoDb or Node, JSON is clearly one of the most popular data formats - better support is surely a good thing.
