Why do people think ACID is some panacea for every database problem ? It doesn't save you from data loss. It doesn't help you scale. It doesn't make it easier to manage. It doesn't actually help with 99% of the problems you typically experience with a database.

A more measured, intelligent consideration of pros/cons is needed.
