In my mind PostgreSQL has always been cool. I have never been one of those developers who choose the most popular option, I have been fighting hard on every project I get to have a say in database choice for years now to use PostgreSQL. I don't think it was ever not cool, a lack of mentions on social media and inclusions on LinkedIn isn't an adequate representation of popularity. I think PostgreSQL is one of those things that I would call a best kept secret, everyone knows it is superior to MySQL. The article does make a few good points, but it seems to be largely speculative and lacking substance. If PostgreSQL is seeing an uptake, that's great because if any database solution out there deserves it, it is PostgreSQL. I love the JSON feature, but not only that being able to work with geospatial and location data out-of-the-box.
