For me as a 20-something swe who claims to be somehow proficient in SQL and NoSQL, I find it way more difficult to get the NoSQL datamodel right. With traditional SQL, you can basically do whatever you want with a model that looks however it wants. But if I have a, eg Cassandra model and a new requirement pops up, I cannot just do some joining and satisfy that.
