I've used Mongo in my node apps for at least 7 years, I've used Mongoose once in that time, and hated it (was chosen before I got onto the project) Otherwise I've either used mongojs or mongodb, much nicer experience. If you are using a schema-less db, why on earth do you want to bring in a schema? Maybe validation? But really, your validation should probably be somewhere before hitting the db/model, at either the api entry point or before it ever leaves the browser. So validation should be sharable between the client and server, not at the db level.

That's!
That's what I think about validation, and that's the main reason why I migrated to the native controller.
