What elitist attitude? Agree, we all have to start somewhere, and the basics --a relational DB and a synchronous framework are fine somewheres to start from.

Now, when (and if) you know enough about those, by all means move on to NoSQL etc.

Note, though, that I'm taking about people using it in production and not knowing what the compromises are --the "Mongo DB is webscale" and "node.js is damn fast" people.

I have no problem with people that are just using it to play/experiment with (though, they too would have to understand the compromises eventually).

What does it matter to you if they use it in production? It's not like your house is going to burn down.
Huh? Things should only matter to us when they affect us personally? Caring for the state of technology and development in general is prohibited?
