IMO it was when Oracle bought MySQL and effectively killed development. MySQL still lives on with MariaDB I suppose, but in the years since Postgres has leapfrogged it in terms of functionality.

I'm a PostgreSQL fan, but Oracle are investing in MySQL development, but their flavour of open source compliance is tarballing.

5.6 had some pretty critical improvements, especially to the query planner.
