Isn't that true for most of those 'flavour of the month' technologies?
First a shiny new piece of technology shows up that promises to solve all the issues you have with a mature and widely adopted solution. People get exited and at some point the media picks up on it und starts the hype cycle. More and more decision makers hear about the technology (probably aided by marketing) and decide to adopt it. Implementation takes place and the new technology is deployed into the live environment. Some time goes by and the first issues appear, workarounds and tweaks are devised to mitigate those. After even more time the technology's inherent flaws become apparent. At this point either someone else develops a new iteration of that technology with the promise of solving those issues or the technology is abandoned altogether as it is unable to deliver sufficient value and cannot be fixed.
