Then you’d say, “Hells yeahs, Tapirs are cuddly”. You´d be wrong... This essay is long and disorganized. To spare those who would other wise have to suffer through it the trouble: It's basically a defense of the the term 'NoSQL' as a description of the collective of hash-key stores, documents dbs, etc that have been gaining popularity of late. His claim: 'NoSQL' represents some kind of escape from the oppressiveness…
These labels bundle CouchDB into the same category as heavier-than-relational OO databases.
A much better grouping label would be 'map cloud'.
NoSQL is sticky because people have been misusing SQL databases for things that they are bad at for years. Now people are doing things right, and it feels better. All the people that show up to NoSQL articles and say, "you should always use SQL" are the ones that happened to use relational databases for the right tasks.

As soon as it turns into "we're using Project Voldemort, can you figure out how to hook a reporting tool up to it tomorrow?", you find a lot less consensus.
AltDB and NoSQL are stupid labels. These names put people into the perspective of relational databases and then show them something totally different. The consumer then has difficulty understanding the topic. These labels bundle CouchDB into the same category as heavier-than-relational OO databases. A much better grouping label would be 'map cloud'.
