SQL isn't the alternative, it's the standard and noSQL databases are supposed to offer extra value to cause you to migrate. According to these articles, MongoDB doesn't offer any real additional value, thus you shouldn't use it.
It's not about elitism, it's about making good decisions. That said, given all the hype with companies that hire, protesting loudly might not be the best short term personal decision. Meh.
- threeseed 13y agoThese articles are just one side of the picture which gets heavily upvoted on HN. And of course it is about elitism. Listen to yourself. "It's about making good decisions".

I'll happily repeat it: unless you have a specfic use case, RDBMS is the default and it should be so. Now if you have a specific use case, fair enough, but the aforementioned examples don't honestly seem to be valid reason to throw our the advantages of RDBMS.
