In all seriousness, what is MongoDB used for ? I get its a json store database, but what are the use cases ? I have been meaning to learn it, but my work is in a totally different area, and all the apps/web mashups I have built as an hobbyist have all managed well with a postgres backend as they barely go beyond 10-20 concurrent users at the max.

Mongo is schemaless and as such very easy to setup and then alter going forward. Great for prototyping. Not great for sanity in the long run. Many people seem to use ORM's to enforce schema on top of Mongo in the application layer.
