Agreed. I think MySQL is still dragging the bad reputation it got in the early 2000s, which is unfair considering how much it improved. And I write that I someone that used to hate MySQL for all its shortcuts. I have one app in production based on MySQL. I have been thinking of switching to PostgreSQL for years. But the truth is that, the more MySQL improves, the less the switch is justified :) The engineering effort put by Google, Facebook, Oracle, etc. in MySQL and InnoDB during the last ten years is impressive.
