Exactly. What is the super secret use case that a DB that might shut down in 3 years give you, over the tried and true?

Postgres is great, mysql works... You really need to exhaust them before you go to random.db.

For S&Gs.

It's a 9 year old database.

Can you be more specific about what makes it immature ?

Pretty sure that they were referring to ArangoDB and OrientDB as being immature, not MongoDB...

Compared to some other databases out there, MongoDB is a baby. These others... are not even born.

9 years _is_ immature when you're talking about systems that will store data and operate for decades, with various components being upgraded over that time.
