That's like saying "I live in a capitalist nation and capitalism is not what it's cracked up to be."
NoSQL is an ideology, and anyone you hear who uses that term is an ideologue. Please name the "NoSQL" you have been using and name the specific problems you have had with it so we can discuss matters more concretely.
Just as RDBMS users prefer one above all else, so do "NoSQL" users. I have seen my fair share of them and I thought a good chunk of them where "crap" (where crap means "does not fit my mental model of the solution"; mainly because I am too naive to study the field better and appreciate what the tools are capable of, so I dismiss anything that doesn't entirely model CL's Elephant.)
Last week I rolled out my own Memcached "replacement" in Common Lisp and I was spitting in bradfitz's general direction, that looney bloat monger! Yeah, my "memcached" replacement is an in-process memoizer for all the DB accessing functions. It worked until the server instance was overloaded and the load-balancer forked a second instance: then I had a problem. I wish I could suck-back all the spit I have sent in brad's general direction.

You're sounding a little ideologue-ish yourself. :) NoSQL is a term of limited use since there is such a huge variety of non-relational database technologies, but that doesn't mean using it makes you an ideologue any more than someone using the term "dynamic languages," which is similarly broad.
