Case in point: I recently went back to SQL from noSQL after I realized that a lot of noSQL was just reinventing wheels. I realize there might be cases where noSQL databases shine, but in most use cases SQL is better. It's slightly more work up front (only slightly) but it pays off later in keeping your data organized and making it easy to query. It's a great example of a very old technology with excellent longevity. That's in part because it's built on math and logic (set theory, etc.). There are universal mathematical/logical truths encoded elegantly into the structure of the SQL language, and they describe things you are going to need. Your tools shouldn't be the exciting thing. The thing you are building with them should be the exciting thing.
