I am happy using Postgres(and I do on a daily basis) but replication and
certain aspects of management of Postgres *from my perspective* are a
nightmare.

In my opinion, MySQL is easier to manage and I think that may be a key
factor as to why it is so popular with many in the open source community.

That being said, I know that there are a lot of people that feel that
Postgres is more standards compliant and full featured than MySQL. I think
ultimately it all comes down to a difference in style.
