Maybe if you are working with data which inherently has a relational structure using a relational database makes sense. Maybe if you need to ensure transactional consistency, you want to use a data-store which is ACID compliant.

You know: There's no silver hammer. Use the right tool for the right job. Etc etc.

Just a though. A sprinkle of old man's dust onto this new hip generation who thinks JSON solves all the problems in the world.
