I hate PostgreSQL. It's overly arcane and feels like something from the 1980s or early 1990s. Everything is clunky and manual and "mainframey." (Is that a word?) Unfortunately there's not a lot that's that much better. The commercial options are not even much better really. Maybe a little more polished.
CockroachDB is the biggest one I've been watching but unfortunately it still seems to have some limitations around performance with complex queries that rule it out for a lot of things.

- beagle3 4y ago... but that was only the "Postgres" release. The project now known as postgres was started in 1985 or so, with early demos and releases in the 1980s. And it probably traces actual code back to Ingres in 1982. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PostgreSQL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PostgreSQL
