Over my career I've used Sybase, SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, Postgres, even a bit of DB2 way back in the day. I wouldn't use MySQL if I had another option, but that said I've managed some web sites (Drupal and other CMSs) that used MySQL and it was ... fine. It worked, and never needed any attention.
MySQL is a simple database that's easy to set up and run. Don't make the mistake of thinking there's nothing better, but for certain use cases, it gets the job done.
