Would you rather have 1 type of car that the government makes that works pretty reliably and is a middle-ground car, or would you rather have a selection of cars to chose from; sports, truck, sedan, minivan, etc. ?
Everyone has different needs. I use MySQL extensively for it's memory-based storage engine, MyISAM for quick & dirty non-escential data i/o, and InnoDB for when data needs to be managed securely for processes.
I would use PG for transaction-based data processing in a high-volume situation with multi-processing clusters. Otherwise MySQL works fantastic for all my needs.
Would you rather have a car that runs into a wall and explodes and kills everyone inside or no car at all? The car is like using car analogies on Slashdot and not having a car is like not using car analogies on YC.
In conclusion and in summary, go back to Slashdot. KTHXBAI.
