Yes, at one startup I worked on we had written one of those as well (https://github.com/akshell/docs/blob/master/guide/db.rst https://github.com/akshell/docs/blob/master/guide/db.rst). The problem is they are still an abstraction. You write these queries using chaining or whatever but when something goes wrong you still need to look at the generated SQL statements. With MongoDB, the query you write in your app is exactly the same as the query you run from the MongoDB shell and I like that. I can prototype the query in the shell and then copy paste it into the application code. When the application code is producing unexpected results, I can easily debug it in the shell.
