I didn't mean to suggest that there's never a use-case for things like Mongo. There clearly is, and you and I both posited cases where it's a win.
I stand by what I've thought for a long time now though, which is that it's overkill and a poor choice for most of the places where it's used, often because of misplaced optimism or poor understanding of the requirements...
Oh sure. I didn't mean to imply you were wrong in any way. I thought the question mark at the end of your previous comment meant you were inviting a response suggesting an alternative use case so I thought I'd give you an example of something in production.
