As the original poster, I have found that relational databases have become our favorite hammer. The point of my post however is that things like the modern NoSQL movement did not originate in Redmond. Open source drove NoSQL to the forefront. If it were up to Oracle and Microsoft, we'd be using RDBMS forever.

point about origination granted, though for some folks NoSql has become a bit of a hammer itself http://use-the-index-luke.com/blog/2013-04/whats-left-of-nos... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6712703 . Of course, all hammers are bad, SQL or NoSQL - use the right tool for the job.
