Is Parse a good alternative to Firebase?

Parse can be finiky when working with nested data (setting and getting nested paths), which Firebase is really strong at, so you might might need a mental shift and data restructure here. It seems to want flat SQL like data but I’m a Mongo guy - I like nested data because to me its cleaner and more organized.

Parse allows nested paths in a few places. Can you let us know where you seen finicky behavior? There is a pending fix for exclude in this PR, but using paths with select and other types of queries should be working well.
