You would probably be amazed by some of the stuff I've worked on for a few sites. Flatfile can do anything SQL can - and it actually works alot faster then SQL. Granted it can be tricky and you need to properly organize the data from the very beginning, but it pays off well if the site has heavy traffic.
One site I worked on for someone has a lot of traffic, and if I were to use SQL it would have been pretty expensive (system resource wise). You can speed up your scripts by using flat file, that's why I prefer it -plus it makes backups/restores very easy and lightweight. You should take a crack at flatfile sometime.
