Reputation is hard to fix. Mysql today is still considered 'toy' db, even trough it is very stable and has good features. I think they lost industries with most money (financial and enterprise) to Cassandra and other competitors. Plus there are now solutions with aim to reimplement MongoDB API and be drop in replacement.

I'd actually say that its feature set relative to other equally stable open-source DBs has gotten worse over the years, not better. Not because its gotten absolutely worse, but because other open source databases have gotten better faster.

Mysql has good selection of engines and good clustering.
