I don't think my post can hold up against Mei's article but I'm flattered it reminded you of it!

Honestly, based on my limited experience with both databases, I'd use MongoDB all the time if I could. If only because it's so much easier to pick up and understand than having to query and join tables. Raw mySQL queries can get really lengthy.

Sadly, the more complex my apps get as I learn I'm going to have to bite the bullet and embrace relational databases sooner or later.
