We started with a MEAN stack but are in the process of stripping out Mongo for MySQL... I guess that still makes it a MEAN stack.

MySQL is a truly awful database.

I don't hear much more positive stuff about Mongo. The opposite usually.

Yes, MongoDB sucks too. MongoDB has been called "the MySQL of the noSQL world", i.e. both wildly popular and wildly awful.

Why not Postgres?

Well, simply because it was familiar to all of us and will be sufficient for the task. That said, I like the idea of a PEAN stack.

I personally like MongoDB, Express, NodeJS, Socket.IO, and Angular. MENSA. Genius!

This sounds more like the HIPSTER stack.

I was about to write that!
