I don't know how people write this stuff on NoSQL these days but it feels like a step back into pre-historic IT times.
I would be interested to know how developers deal with this.
One thing to consider is that it's not necessarily about NoSQL -OR- RDBMS. You can easily use both depending on various data requirements - an application we are working on uses both models for different types of data. For some things like storing session stores or other key=>value data where it isn't essential to rely on foreign keys NoSQL can be quite useful and very efficient. For some projects you will only use one but not the other and with no issues, yet bigger applications (or even small ones with specialised uses) may use both.
