The main point of the Pastebin rant is the claim that Mongo's development standards are insufficient for mission-critical software (such as databases).
So I looked through Mongo's change logs and one of the first things I saw for version 2.0.0 is a "huge" issue: "reIndex() on secondary drops all indexes" https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-3866 https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-3866
This sounds like a bad bug for a database to have. And in this article 10gen president says that data loss hasn't been a problem since 1.8, which seems to contradict their own change log....
