It's because i've read them, and I know they suck(feature-wise). It's like mongodb all over again (replace your rdbms).

I honestly don't recall seeing much, if any, evangelism to the extremes of "hey you don't need a relational database anymore" as it relates to Cassandra. Talks I've seen have generally focused on using it as a tool to fit a specific niche/do something that the existing RDBMS wasn't optimal for.

About the talks, yeah. There is no one talking about how we replaced our rdbms (except where they were using the rdbms as kv or something similar like reddit), because it isn't possible.
