I've only casually used MongoDB, but the articles about companies switching from it to other solutions (I've seen at least two about companies switching from Mongo to Riak) have kept me wary of it. Personally, my 10k foot impression has been that MongoDB is really easy to get started with, has some cool features, and is fun to use... but then in production it has serious issues that are fundamentally unworkable. Until I see a series of: "Here is what was wrong with MongoDB and how we fixed it" articles floating around along with a number of endorsements - I'm probably going to keep that 10k foot view. I could easily be criticized for not digging in to Mongo's problems myself to learn exactly what they are and whether or not they are still an issue, but life is too short and there are too many other things to do.
