Because it _might_ be the great, stable and matura language for storing and
querying data of tomorrow......
By your logic, why even replace traditional files (i mean those consisting
of _real_ paper) with this computer crap?
And why use PHP/Perl/Phyton instead of great, stable and matura C?
Why do OO-Programming? Procedural programming is much more matura?

The kind of structure that an table (essentially n-tuples of values) can
represent is not nearly as powerfull as an XML-Tree.....
