"Battle" was (if I remember correctly) the term used by Stonebraker in his 2001 SIGMOD keynote to describe what happened at that specific SIGMOD in the 1980s. It is not "only in my head". Like I said, I don't care what other people store data in.
I don't think MongoDB is going anywhere on the medium term, and there is always going to be some customers. Just like the network databases in the 70s, or XML databases in the 90s.
Bad ideas never die, they just resurface in another form, which people label as "new".
