I'd vote it down if I could, it's far too fluffy and short for my tastes. The only reason I could think of using MyISAM is if you need features that only it supports, like compression, MRG_MyISAM tables, or full text search. Having said that, the newer InnoDB plugins support compression, with partitioning you don't need MRG_MyISAM, and you can use something like Sphinx for full text searching, which integrates nicely into MySQL.
