I don't like how this article frames MySQL vs. NoSQL as the important battle. There are other SQL databases besides MySQL, and there's lots of variation in the various NoSQL offerings.
I'm going to agree with you and take it a step further: MySQL vs NoSQL shouldn't even BE a battle. Pick whatever technology or software is right for your application. If you're choosing sides on any other basis, you're losing.
The problem is that there's no agreement on which applications suit one or the other technology better. NoSQL proponents act like most startups should just use NoSQL by default and the SQL guys say the exact opposite. So who really knows which technology is right for your application?
