@Patrick, hehe, the joke escapes me too :D
But yes, different problems require different solutions.
I find that relational databases preserve data integrity and reduce the code you need to work with them, and provide many other features that enable one to create things that one would otherwise not be able to with a none-relational database. Case in point, Facebook still uses a relational database, and its one of the hugest apps ever.
MongoDB seems to be well supported in Python, other languages and distributions. Appscale (http://appscale.cs.ucsb.edu/) allows you to implement your own Google App Engine compatible platform and supports HBase, Hypertable, MySQL Cluster, Cassandra, Voldemort, MongoDB ,MemcacheDB as datastores
