Yes: not all applications need the strict consistency rules (ACID) which 
typical RDBMS implementations of TX handling provide and not all 
applications need immediate access to all basic data fields (i.e. 
retrieval of complete documents is OK for many applications or even more 
efficient).  By abandoning these more performance can be achieved and 
replication becomes easier just to name .  So NoSQL database have real 
benefits for particular use cases (same as RDBMS have as well - just 
other use cases).

Yes: they are hyped which you can see any time when looking in the 
media.  When people start implementing RDBMS like TX handling on top of 
NoSQL databases "by hand" you should be suspicious.
