I'm not trying to pick a fight with you. Nor am I trying to say "MySQL sucks". I'm commiserating with you, or at least trying to, at your level.

You're the one bursting in here shouting "Postgres sucks!" "based entirely" on a lack of features added more than "a decade ago". You have your choices, we have ours. You'd rather have the convenience of features, even at the risk of losing your data; we'd rather have the peace of mind of knowing our data is safe, and build features that don't exist out of whatever else we have, however we can.

It's not always about what bugs or features exist or don't exist now. It's also about the nature of a project and how it's developed, and how it's going to evolve or otherwise behave in the future. After all, we're talking about databases here; we trust our data to them.
