Mongo is a good product. Also, like what most of the others have said, they came out around a similar time period. Plus being able to leverage JSON/BSON is like gold for JS devs.

Lately though, I've been using RethinkDb as my document data store. If you're a JS developer you'll really appreciate the syntax

RethinkDb appears to have great promise, especially in its ability to push changes from the DB towards the client - which should make it perfect for the so-called 'reactive programming' paradiym. Why don't we hear so much about RethinkDb compared to other document stores like CouchDB and MongoDB ?

@lisol well there's probably a few reasons. 1. they're pretty new relatively, so their reputation is just now starting to take off. 2. I doubt they have the market $$ that some of these other guys have.

Check out their docs and YouTube channel though https://www.youtube.com/user/RethinkDB. There's tons going on

Even I felt RethinkDb feels much lighter and easier compared to Mongo! But since MEAN stack is a craze these days, people forget to talk about hidden gems like this!!!
