clarify benefits vs native mongo driver? #98

Closed dcsan closed 8 years ago

I'm trying to evaluate what benefits this provides over the 10gen 2.1 mongoDB driver itself. that provides promises + various ES6 sugar now: http://mongodb.github.io/node-mongodb-native/2.1/reference/ecmascript6/

could you let me know what the motivations for the project are? for example, perhaps the buffering of commands after a connection is open? other significant API differences? thanks!

if you could compare with Robe or other ES6 drivers too that would be great. For example Robe depends on an outdated (1.4) version of the mongodriver...

The benefit is convenience. Native mongodb driver is perfect, depending on your needs. But ever after trying out ActiveRecord from Rails, I find using models (ORM) to be way more convenient and flexible. It's all up to you.

I can't compare Mongorito to Robe, because I haven't used it, so my biased opinion wouldn't give much useful info :)
