SQL or NoSQL

Yes, the first question which hit my mind was SQL or NoSQL, on reading article by Matt Benjamin about Open Source databases.It is indeed going to be very challenging keeping track of the developments in this space.
The NoSQL databases don't seem to fit in a typical RDBMS mold. Cassandra,Dynomite,Voldemort,CouchDB,MongoDB and Scalarix to name a few.NoSQL databases would maybe take some time before they can pack together and match the power,availability and performance of SQL databases.
