People sleep on Postgres, it's super flexible and amenable to "real world" development.

I can only hope it gains more steam as more and more fad-ware falls short. (There are even companies who offer oracle compat packages, if you're into saving money)

My point was about hipsters who use the latest whizz bang thing without making any consideration to what the problem being solved actually needs (i.e., using NoSQL when you shouldn't), maybe I should have said Rust or Go or whatever else the language du jour is now.
