SQL databases had their imminent death coming. They were stuck. However, PostgreSQL is under more active development than most other databases, SQL or NoSQL. It is new and cool technology.

In the end, whether you speak SQL or use NoSQL construct matters as much as whether you write a program in C or Pascal. You can have endless debates about form and function and you might want to see and identify with a winner, but in the end whether the tools and the community surrounding a technology fits people's needs is the only thing that really matters.
