They are becoming popular but there is no way they surpass relational databases in use.

That brings up an interesting question of where the line of what is a database gets drawn. Does a JSON interface to a CRUD application that uses a relational database behind the scenes count as a JSON database? A part of me thinks it should. CouchDB positioned itself with a JSON API that allowed you to skip the CRUD middleware, so from the API consuming point of view there is essentially no difference.

I honestly can't believe this comment is all the way down here. What a bubble we live in sometimes.
I'd be surprised if it was much above 1%.
Anyone know if there's a NoSQL/SQL market share comparison out there?
