I am not a hater, quite the contrary. I've messed around with Meteor just a bit, and loved it. But I cannot get my head around one thing: why in the world would anyone actually choose to use MongoDB over Postgres or MySQL ?Is there actually a use case where a NoSQL db would be as good or preferable? Or is it really all just a matter of people being intimidated by SQL? Because everything informed and trustworthy that I read on the subject says that NoSQL is simply not robust enough for doing anything more complicated than storing a list of names and email addresses for a simple user forum. That ain't gonna cut it for most apps.
