We can all thank MemCache for opening the floodgates and lifting the prohibition. It still bugs me when other developers insist on using the database as the cache or be used for impermanent data, such as cookie sessions, message queuing and etc. But, I digress... memcache became an immediate hit in the early days for web developers who realised that RDBMS performance really sucks if you want to scale your architecture. And then the seed was planted and people started to realise they wanted something with the simplicity of memcache but the utility of a RDBMS.

(redis is quite nice, i hear couchbase is also pretty neat, but I haven't played with it yet).
