Comment on Go Cry on Somebody Else's Shoulder: MongoDB is fine

If you're going to choose one of these high performance NoSQL DBs you are trading ACID for that performance. How hard is this to understand guys? If that doesn't suit your purposes, don't use it.

1) No one said we are trading ALL of ACID. D should never be traded, period, except for transient data or cache.

2) We don't even get the performance guarantee. See the pastebin post about how the write lock affects performance and how synchronization with a slave can go awry.
