#12What's the deal with MongoDB and the node.js community? I don't find non relational databases that enticing and there are javascript drivers for postgres [1]. [1] https://github.com/creationix/postgres-js
Probably because mongoose is so well written, it feels inferior to use another kind of ORM library. I'm guessing nobody has written something as good as the activerecord library in the ruby world for node.
I just found node-postgres and it looks okay. Active development and issues look like they're not major. Do you have any experience with it?

EDIT:
Whoops, its clearly just a client and not an ORM. How about

instead?

#13I’m not a NoSQL expert, but everyone I know who is considers Mongo a joke in production. And I would never use Angular in production apps (“painfully slow” is reason enough but I have ideological differences as well). That makes saying “no” to this stack easy.

It's nice to be able to get up and running and just throw documents into a database without having to specify what that data will look like up front.
I guess that makes sense but do most people who use node.js use mongo in production or just as a scaffolding tool?

I haven't seen any benchmarks that make it seem like Angular is "painfully slow." AFAIK, its on par or faster than ember.js and knockout.js. What would you use instead for MV* in the browser?

#16the background image makes it unreadable on small windows... i suppose it's the same on mobile devices
It is. The text blends in to the background image on my iPad and makes it very difficult to read.

You can't really compare node-postgres and Mongoose. The former is a simple Postgres client, while the latter is a fully-featured ODM.

#19Love it - except for the Angular part - can we get a MEEN stack with Ember.js?

Mongo is incredibly productive. In the "lean startup" sense it is an easy database to start with.
