I've heard DBA complain that many programmers see data as not all that important: that the data simply exists to run the program. This obviously not the case in any serious real-life environments, but I think it's the sort of attitude that many NoSQL supporters have.

One thing that become much easier with the JSON document model is sync, which is a valuable abstraction over the network layer. http://blog.couchbase.com/why-mobile-sync

Another thing that you win with the document model is lots of primary key lookups, making it easy to model your data access around your hot path. http://blog.couchbase.com/performance-oriented-architecture
