Personally it's a lack of trust. I've set up databases, I've broken databases, I've restored databases, I've scaled databases, and I've migrated them. Never lost so much as a nibble of data. My introduction to NoSQL was an article about Mongo losing someone's production data. Not even all of the data - partial data loss, the worst kind of data loss. I'm just gonna head off that massive headache at day 0 and use an ACID compliant database. From there it's lack of experience. Same reason I wouldn't decide to write my next thing in a new language unless I was specifically learning that language.

Do you have a reference to that article?

  Honestly we're talking at least a decade ago or so at this point, sorry. It was a first impressions thing that stopped any further investigation, not a comment on the current state of NoSQL

But as I prev. said NoSQL is not limited to Mongo Ppl hate nosql cuz of mongo when there are other dbs, e.g RavenDB >I'm just gonna head off that massive headache at day 0 and use an ACID compliant database. It is just ACID vs BASE

  I don't hate nosql. I nothing it. I do not have any knowledge or skillset that includes it. I am most definitely naive towards any strengths and capabilities it may have over an SQL database. I also have no reason to learn it at this time, an SQL database wins uncontested whenever I need to store data. If I was to start a new project I wouldn't pick that moment to learn a new programming language. Same thing, different part of the stack Honestly what it'd take would be the next WordPress or whatever using nosql by default. Make it need learning
