What's annoying about joins? I think practically speaking, whether you're going relational or not, joins are a reality of a data model that supports multiple views and transformations. Assuming that's the case, the only question is whether you're doing joins ad hoc in your application code or you've learned the handful of variations that work natively in your RDBMS.
