Well, that's exactly the thing about Postgres. It is not stuck in the stone age, yet extremely reliable. Having worked with a number of MySQL (main fork) and Postgres installations in the past 7 years I observed a number of crashes and corruptions with MySQL (not counting the glory MyISAM days) while having _none_ with Postgres. I should confess that that experience made me very biased in favour of Postgres. My default thinking about Postgres now is: if it doesn't have something MySQL has, it is either for a reason or they are taking their time to do it the _right_ way.
