very true but it's a resurgence of modeling alternatives which can only help to enrich our ability to write interesting applications. yes you can model a social network in a RDBMS but it's not as efficient or as flexible as using neo4j. or yes you can model a key value document in a RDBMS but again it's not a good fit. The right tool for the right problem. You don't build a house with only a hammer so why should we build applications only on one storage concept ?
