>"NoSQL" is generally understood to mean "Not Only SQL"
I think that that is a bit of convenient revisionism as it becomes clear that the Emperor is wearing no clothes.
There absolutely was a very antagonistic, "this changes EVERYTHING" philosophy behind the movement called NoSQL, and the name is not accidental. Perhaps it was just a bit of trolling to get attention, but in no way was it a live and let live initiative (data tactics that are now bound in "NoSQL" long existed in computer science, since before the days of SQL. They just didn't feel the need to make it a comfortable community of evangelists). It was a "that was yesterday and this is today".
Of course things have changed. A bit of realism entered the mindset, so now it's more of a "Heh heh...no bad blood right? We're all good, eh?"
Spur of the moment isn't really accidental, any more than Mel Gibson accidentally said the N-word. There's a bit of a history and a thought process that leads to such a decision.
