Completely disagree with this. SQL is more flexible than NoSQL. NoSQL databases generally have poor query support, which means if you want to do complex queries you need to precompute the results. This requires you to know your requirements up front. If you're using SQL, then you can do these queries on the fly.

Sure, SQL databases make you defined a schema. But it's very easy to change this when requirements change.
