These are great for those (like me) who can't make it, thanks. I think one of the difficulties that the NoSQL movement has is that SQL ORM's have finally gotten to a level of maturity that people are comfortable with them. If you're building a small application and are unsure that you will ever need scale, you will go with the SQL approach. It will take application frameworks a while to reorganize around, and take advantage of the benefits of the NoSQL db's.
