MongoDB is fascinating in how it defies the conventional wisdom that technology is all about trade-offs. They seem to have really figured out how to make a project that is the worst at absolutely everything, with no benefits to show for it anywhere. It gives you hope that if it is possible to make a no-compromises bad-at-everything tool, it might just be the case that a good-at-everything tool is also possible.
