Yes, but most nosql databases aren't designed for durability or reliable persistence. Remember -- one can always use MySQL as a "noSQL" DB by simply de-normalizing, or applying the "schemaless" patch.
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.
