I don't think it's non-programmers that keep SQL around; it's that there hasn't been a replacement for SQL that is better enough to replace it. I think C suffers from the same problem.

I find cypher to be a superior language to SQL. It expresses relationships more succinctly and intuitively, and has better support for aggregations.

I also find datalog superior.
