With hype always comes a throng of people who aren't capable of doing the necessary analytical thinking to solve their problem and who think they can substitute a magical pattern for designing their application instead of truly understanding their problem domain and building a real solution to that problem.

Does that make it the fault of the technology/pattern? I don't think so. I think it just means that there's no magic bullets in tech and people who don't know what they're doing will always cause problems no matter what models they follow.
