"In our opinion, the NoSQL decision to give up on ACID is the lazy solution to these scalability and replication issues."
They had me up until they called NoSQL "lazy" and claimed NoSQL solutions "give up on ACID". They aren't lazy and a lot of them support ACID, or most of it.
From that point on this veers away from logic and moves towards a self-justified argument. Tools are just tools. If you need immediate consistency then go for an immediately consistent solution, if you don't then you should feel free to take advantage of the performance gain of eventual consistency.
