If transactions are the biggest problems, there are driver solutions like http://godoc.org/labix.org/v2/mgo/txn for that. I am not sure, how they compare to "real" transactions. Still missing "joining" in some cases though. Otherwise I am ok with MongoDB so far.

If another host connects to the db, and the transaction doesn't span to that second host. Its not as safe as sql transactions.

Jeez. Please do not mention client-library-managed transactions and then put "real" transactions in scare quotes. At least read the Wikipedia article first.

I have seen many people try and shoehorn various problems into MongoDB, when in most cases a relational database would have been better suited.

I have yet to see a real use case for Mongo unless you are building a Facebook clone. Can someone suggest when it is actually useful over a properly tuned relational database?

I guess I kind of reached the irrelevance stage just thinking about the sort of problems it would be suited to rather than actually building anything.

I can't agree. MongoDB 2.8 with WiredTiger is a performant NoSQL solution.

The way you solve things in document dbs like MongoDB is the key - not the fact that you get competitve performance in RDBMS as well.

I like Postgres and the possibility to easily use JSON data. But I still prefer to build applications the NoSQL way...
