I'm getting tired of both sides of this argument, I'll be happy when the whole back and forth dies :). Rarely do you see a balanced opinion. Sometimes it's people that are fanatical about the new-ish NoSQL idea. Other times, like this, it's someone so stuck in their ways they think that everything but what they like is a fad and nothing will ever change.

One of the key things I look for when I interview developers is that they can recognize the right tool for the job. Potentials that get married to a technology or language are shown the door pretty quickly.

Also, as others have pointed out, this particular article seems to not quite understand the decisions involved, to the point of getting some things backwards.
