my stance is that if you understand nosql (my choice is mongodb) enough, you can develop apps at least as performant as sql, if not more performant. I find mongodb query language easier to understand than some sql queries. that being said your app should enforce some data entity schema to make apps more maintainable. just because you can go schema free in nosql doesn't mean you should imho. I've only been working with mongodb for about a year and my life has never been easier. I don't think I'll ever start a new project with sql again. I've begun migrating all of my personal projects to mongo also.
