+1.  Why all the non-relational love?

Can you imagine building an e-commercie site with a NoSQL database?
The products table would quickly become a god table that is
responsible for everything, and counting products by category would
require a heroic effort.  Keeping non-relational databases consistent
requires writing tons of cron jobs to constantly fix the data.

Sure, NoSQL may be better than sharding, but it isn't exactly fun.
