I never spent much time with the whole NoSQL movement, it always seemed something out of people that don't get how to optimise SQL queries, or suffer from SQL allergy, only to reinvent it badly in custom languages.

There are many good reasons to use NoSQL instead of a "full SQL database". OTOH I can relate to your experience, I remember colleagues switching to MongoDB because they couldn't get good performance on the (MS) SQL database. They didn't know enough about proper (multi-column) indexes, use proper isolation levels, etc.
