In his primary post he talk about SQL Server, Sybase and MySQL wich does
good jobs with collation....

Almost a majority of RDBMS have collation support wich is very important
for non english languages, that represents about 90% of the planet

This feature has always been a "black spot" in PG, and the most
important topic to discourage to use it in professionnal applications.
