I'm sorry but all I need can be handled by simple key/value stores, and I prefer the simplicity of JSON data structures, without predefined fields.

That is all perfect until your project has matured into 2, 3, or 5 years old and you need to do patches and migrations. Or how about you have to transfer your project to another developer? I bet he/she'll be happy not having a spec of what's in where, when!

Those can just as easily be screwed up in relational databases. For example getting the schema wrong, or only updating it by accretion (adding new tables).

A developer being below average (as half of all developers are), using the wrong tool for the job, not understanding things etc will make a mess. A claim that developers can screw things up is uninteresting (and true).

A claim that there is no scenario in which a "NoSQL" database is the better solution is a lot more interesting, and requires more than "some developers could screw it up" to substantiate.
