And let's not forget the fact that it has a per database lock, which is a really strange choice for a document database.

The guys at MongoDB are working on moving this to a more fine-grained lock in the future. In practice, it's not usually a problem but it'll be less so going forward.

It is a problem in practice if you have any amount of load. You'll see latency quickly go up with lock times, which go up with concurrency.

Why bother, when you can use another db without this problem, right now?
