Having the choice is a good thing, but I wouldn't want to use a DBMS that is so crippled when it comes to SQL features as MySQL (CTE, recursive queries, windowing functions, partial indexes, function based indexes, check constraints, ...)

Putting priority on certain features is one thing - everyone has different requirements.

Constantly ranting about the fact that something is missing in a product is another thing.

And that's exactly what Mladen is doing - and he only does it in the PG groups.
I have never seen him complain about all the things that MySQL doesn't have.
