There is an old saying "If 'everybody' else is jumping off a cliff should you
too?"  Years ago I played around with MySQL because that was what "everybody"
was using. The problem was it did not do what I wanted and Postgres did. Be
less concerned with marketing lists and more concerned with what the software
can help you do. Draw up a list of things you need in a database and then use
the previous answers to decide which database better serves your needs.
