However, it was more apt against the parent's comment. It did not say why NoSQL users are problematic, or even wrong. It just flat out lambasts anyone who walks away from the orthodoxy of ACID-SQL with an epithet. It truly was an incompetent comment.

I'm using ArangoDB on my project. My reason is that honestly what I'm doing really is document-y. I could use MySQL or PostGRE, but I'm opting for something different for the sake something different. I do want to have integrity, though. Arango has integrity at the document level as well as distributed transactions. It doesn't enforce references though. I'm fine with that.

What annoys me is when Internet commentator attack something new without at least a cursory show of reasoning.

No, it was calling name callers incompetent, which caused an unintended self reference :-) I suppose it's not irony, but I don't think it's as far from it as Alanis.

It's called Postgres, or PostgreSQL, by the way.
