I kind of think they are different tools for different jobs. NoSQL has
risen out of the need for massively scalable databases. For the vast
majority of apps, using one is overkill, and probably leads to the
kind of messy data access and reporting scenarios you envision.

In other words, that "How do I query it?" "You write a map reduce
function in Erlang." cartoon is right on the money.
