A few things from this list are out of date. For example, MySQL 5.6 (GA release 3.5 years ago) added support for multiple columns with default timestamp. MySQL 5.7 (GA release 1 year ago) added generated virtual columns, which can be indexed, basically supporting index on expression. And for an extreme example, table partitioning was added in MySQL 5.1, 8 years ago. The default SQL mode also changed to be strict in 5.7, preventing silent overflows and other oft-complained-about write behaviors. Using a strict SQL mode has been recommended best practice for quite a long time anyway. MySQL certainly has its flaws, and there are a number of useful features that are present in pg but missing in MySQL. But the gap is smaller than many people realize.
