You're setting up a straw man if you argue that the least good item on the FOSS list is less good than the MS equivalent. You need to show that for the best item on the list.
For example, my experience with MySQL is mixed, but PostgreSQL is a beautiful, beautiful thing. So here it seems to come down to the tooling you need (I can't comment on this: I've no SQL Server experience).
