I contend NoSQL is the introduction of nailguns to scaling up large projects with few consistancy constraints where priorly there were only screwdrivers and hammers.

It's useful in it's arena. As are SQL based solutions in their arena. And there are tons of projects that can be done in either. Anyone who contends either is the only way hasn't spent enough time using the other.

IMO, its the equivalent of panting as opposed to sweating: a functional way to get something done that fits some things quite well.
