Is this a serious question?

Yes, and I would recommend always assuming so on HN.

I don't quite see the unique advantages of MariaDB compared to current MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, CockroachDB, MemSQL, etc.

In my case we switched to MariaDB because it fixed a number of glaring query optimizer failings much sooner than MySQL. And we've stuck with MariaDB because it has been much smoother and confidence-inspiring than MySQL when we used that.

We also use the TokuDB storage engine extensively, which is well supported by MariaDB. Whereas MySQL 8 is going in a very opinionated direction that I personally don't agree with.

Former product manager. Could you give some examples of what you mean by opinionated direction?
