These articles are just one side of the picture which gets heavily upvoted on HN.

And of course it is about elitism. Listen to yourself. "It's about making good decisions".

I mean who are you to judge from the outside what technology a company should use for a specific use cases ?

I wasn't specifically talking about the articles, just in general point that'll I'm happy to stand behind. I'll happily repeat it: unless you have a specfic use case, RDBMS is the default and it should be so. Now if you have a specific use case, fair enough, but the aforementioned examples don't honestly seem to be valid reason to throw our the advantages of RDBMS.
