Which is bizarre cause you pretty much need some form of RDBs in most of the apps. And because of ANSI SQL, the syntax/concepts are relatively same on different databases too. No point in not making this investment.

Agree. This is the weird kid down the street who gets by on manyioise and saltines. To engage persistent storage is to engage sql for the first 75% of all work. Hey you gotta have some competence in the domain of work. I like Jordache (orm) but not Calvin Klein (sql) isn't wisdom; it's merely personal predilection.
