NoSQL is way harder than SQL to get right if you're trying to write something performant - and you don't want to refactor everything down the line. I pick SQL because I'm lazy, not the other way round.

The only upside of NoSQL is performance. Almost everything else is harder and worse than SQL. Sure you can get your denormalised schema and never have to join anything to get all your data. But, you need to know all of your access patterns at design-time and when you need to refactor the data model in some way you're fucked and need to, I dunno, rewrite an entire table, sometimes on the fly while the system is running, which is like changing a tyre on a moving car.
