One of the main reasons I hear people advocating MongoDB is it's ease of horizontal scaling, via replication and auto sharding. I wonder how many projects have such large data sets that they really require sharding of their data?
I understand having another node or two for fail over but I reckon with the spec of the largest offerings from AWS or Linode most people will never need to worry about this and can manage everything on one Postgres or MySQL db. Why complicate things before you have to.
