Actually, at one time I was. I was even very enthusiastic about Postgres, 
I even persuaded my employer at the time to host Postgres meetings. We 
even had Bruce Momjian and Robert Haas at some of those meetings. Now, 
you could call me a disappointed and disillusioned Postgres user. I still 
haven't given up all hope, but in order for me to start using it again, I 
would require some commitment to implementing hints. I don't really care 
if some former pastry bakers will have to eat their words back because of 
it. In my humble opinion former pastry bakers shouldn't be steering a 
relational database anyway.
Unfortunately, it looks like that is not going to happen, PostgreSQL will 
remain a loser product. Stonebraker lost against Oracle once, it looks 
like that will happen again. Shame, there was a good potential here, if 
only wasn't for a bunch of incompetent yahoos, writing things like this:
http://tinyurl.com/68gu822
A database with this guy in the steering committee cannot make any 
inroads, that's for sure. Not only did MySQL trump Postgres over and over 
again, the same feat will likely be repeated by MongoDB. It seems that 
Michael Stonebraker hasn't learned anything from the past experiences.
