mongo, Cassandra, various graph databases, and other non-sql data stores do have valuable uses (I think some people just went too far against SQL and the relational model, which also remains exceptionally valuable).

Mongo and originally normal Ruby for a system that mainly deals with money? Without a massive test suite, letting a normal dev make changes without a lot of rails is asking for a sea of incidents.
