I really wish they would straighten out their documentation. I've only looked a few times but it seems very conditional in the description of features like replication sets, etc. I think they should have it organized like the MySQL site has it. E.g. view 5.0 documentation here, or 5.1 here, etc.

The way it is now I couldn't tell you right away what version supports what just by glancing at the docs for a minute.

Thanks for mentioning this. We're just now starting on a massive reorganization and rewrite of the docs. Look for some solid initial progress by mid-October.

And I hope they spend some resources in making MongoDB a first class citizen for Django / Rails projects. Like a complete drop in replacement for MySQL. It's already pretty close. Life would be so good if you could use MongoDB as the default for any project and all gems/apps would just work with it. Goodbye migrations, hello autosharding.

From what I've read, I wouldn't pick MongoDB my first choice for a large data warehouse. Maybe 10gen can change that.

Can you go into some more detail why you would not choose it? I am curious.
