More or less true, though I suspect CouchDB is not as horrible as 
generally thought, if only because it doesn't make the extravagant 
claims that MongoDB does.
No experience with Postgres JSON, was curious but not *that* curious.

My experience so far has been that you can sometimes treat 
MongoDB/Couch as placeholders for a real data-persistence system while 
you're prototyping something.
Then once your schema has settled down, you move to something like 
MySQL, with some good http and data caching.

Meantime, you have some sort of urgent issue with MongoDB replication.  
Can you elaborate?

Also, I do not believe that there is NOBODY on PLUG who's ever dealt 
with MongoDB besides me.
