     I've had a serious eye on mongodb,  but I'd say that schemaless 
operation has its advantages and disadvantages.  Proper organization of 
data in a schema can improve performance by a factor of 100 or so vs 
something that's disorganized.  Even if I did use mongodb for the use 
I'm considering it for,  I'd be adding a layer that imposes some 
structure on top of it.
