This is insane. Why do people use MySQL, again?

Yeah, it can get crazy sometimes, but I think it's fun still. What would you suggest that is better?

PostgreSQL. There's actually a couple of good MySQL v. PostgreSQL threads on News.YC today; check them out.

Yeah, I've heard a lot of great things about PostgreSQL. I'll check those out. Thanks.

Why is this "insane"? Or do you just mean the usage of MySQL in general, not the behavior described by the article?
