Since then, the 'movement' has become a lot more grounded (depending on where you look). I'm sticking to referring to this realm of technologies as 'NonSQL' for the time being. ‘NoSQL’ definitely lends itself to negative connotations, and it seems clear looking back through some of the original uses that such a meaning was loosely intended.

No one is running around with signs saying "HATE SQL" or "HATE SOFTWARE", you are right that would be childish. For clarity, I have no idea how "movement" implies "hate" implies "hate software" all without anyone saying a word to that effect. My personal use of the word movement is as defined, a group of people with a common ideology; that ideology being the education professionals that there is more out there than just conventional databases. This is a part of a broader goal to educate people that the right tool for the right task is pragmatic and wise. All too often professionals fall prey to the trap of "ThingX" is the end all, be all and there is no other choice. Whats your perspective on the movement being less about hate and more about education?
