A database that had a server-wide lock (and highly trumpeted when they got the feature of only being database-wide) and had the amazingly in-depth IO strategy of mmap, defaulted to losing people's data, silently destroyed data on 32-bit, had a Java client that shipped with "catch { if rnd() > 0.1 then .... }", and spends a lot on money trying to be "webscale"? Perhaps it's a deserved attitude.
