If you had been following startup blogs and HN, then you don't need any more data to back their premise.

It's not like total data matters anyway -- what's important is what use cases people regularly encounter in their periphery and the part of the industry they work on, which might not be what some overall data will show.

I don't care for example if NoSQL only caught on with 1% of developers while 99% of Fortune 500 enterprises and companies in rural Idaho and southern Mongolia used trusty old MS-SQL Server.

For most of us here around HN, judging from posts, comments, and discussions, the NoSQL era was very real, in the kind of companies and environments we knew.

so you're favoring buzzword hype over actual production environments?

Who cares if people are talking about it but not really using it?

No, I'm favoring actual buzzword-oriented production environments -- which is most of us work.
