I'm not advocating PostgreSQL over a NoSQL. It certainly won't scale like Cassandra. I'm advocating it over MySQL. With the 9.0 release, it will be to a point where there won't be any reason to chose MySQL. PostgreSQL is easier to deploy and simpler to configure, has more features, is less likely to screw up your data, and has more scalable performance.
