It's the most developer-friendly thing out there. Particularly for a datastore CLI, which is inherently something you use rarely, MySQL's is just a lot nicer, more discoverable.
I think it has the least bad HA story among (free) traditional SQL-RDBMSes too (not that I understand why anyone would start a new project on a traditional SQL-RDBMS at all).
