Yes, this was an incredible development, and lead to hilarious projects like ToroDB (MongoDB API on top of Postgres), which ended up being faster and safer, with relations when you need them.

JSON columns can be incredibly useful and easy to understand for things like user preferences, without the hassle of a metatable.

Call this hilarious if you want, I think it's rather cool, thanks for the pointer. Once this is out of beta it will definitely be useful, if not already.
