Inertia, largely. Postgres is more scalable and has quite a few nonstandard additions that are insanely useful from time to time, but it's not always a drop-in MySQL replacement. If you're just writing something simple like a blog or CMS then you don't need the extra functionality.
Plus Wordpress has a hard requirement for MySQL, and like it or not a huge number of projects still use it as a framework.
- justincormack 13y agobut if its just a blog use mongo not mysql. non relational is a benefit and you have backups... postgres for real stuff.
