There are 2 types of technologies: the ones that people complain about and the ones that nobody uses.

No. Some technologies are hostile to the people forced to use them.
That's pretty much what OC is saying, any technology good enough to be commonly used is going to suck and/or have sharp edges

to a degree thats true but the amount of vitriol expressed to oracle seems a bit warranted. I'm a user of postgres. its widely supported on cloud offerings. Every startup I worked in used it or mysql so it could be argued that postgres is used in a lot more places.
While I certainly have a few issues with postgres, It does the job with minimal bullshit and most of the time, just works. I'm at a point where I just trust it to do its damn job. How often do you hear people complain about postgres or mysql the way you hear people complain about oracle's enterprise db offerrings?
