Agreed. A tool in bad hands can be used badly whether it is SQL or NoSQL, just as a tool in good hands can be used well.
Also, Java may be verbose, but the way I see it, the programmer didn't have to write more than a few letters out of each word before letting autocomplete do its job, and has the added benefit of an IDE that can reason logically about his code. I'm not anti-dynamic language by any stretch (I love Python), and Java is almost never visually beautiful, but extensive machine-assisted code reasoning abilities can be awfully useful.
