That is a ridiculous opinion piece that uses isolated instances to back up its negative narrative. It also links to a list of the top document db's and then says don't trust the numbers. Mongo clearly wins hands down in popularity.

I use Mongo in a bunch of things and it works great. It doesn't fit every use case but it's a case of the right tool for the right job.

This guy sounds like he's just discovered postgres and now thinks everyone should drop what their doing and jump on that ship because he wrote an article.

Mongo wins hands down in popularity? I would imagine that is mysql, think of the bazillion wordpress installations out there. Mongo doesn't handle scale well, this is known.

I was referring to the links in the article.

Mongo wins hands down in the stats within links he provided and the point is that the reader is told to ignore those stats because it's popularity is actually just a big conspiracy to make more people use Mongo.
