My personal experience dealing with Postgres people vs. MySQL people has always been oddly lopsided, with Postgres users seeming to be crazy defensive about their product and getting very offended about any perceived slight when compared with MySQL, and MySQL users generally shrugging their shoulders and saying "post what?" One camp seems to be made up of perfectionists who spend a lot of time worrying about how things "should" be, and the other seems to consist of pragmatists who just want it to work. I will leave it to the reader to decide which is which and which has more appeal to business decision makers.
