I still see a lot of people asking 'what's the best MongoDB client for Mac OS X' (besides the
mongo
shell console), so I think it would be only fair to share my experience. I've been using MongoDB a lot and for some reason I haven't been too comfortable using the shell console. I mean, you need an integrated code editor to fiddle with those somewhat verbose JSON-formatted queries...

So I was constantly looking for alternatives; 18 months ago there was none I could find and learn to like, really, but now I really favour Robomongo. It gives you 'the full power of MongoDB shell', but in the same time you can easily save, load, edit your queries, do copy/paste, view your results as JSON/trees/tables... and yes, you do get a decent autocompletion :-).

It's also cross-platform, free and open-source (GitHub repo here).
Mongodb Osx
Fotonauts' fork of MongoHub is another interesting alternative to keep an eye on; it has a more 'native' OS X feel but IMO it does lack a better query editor...
