When I learned you cannot change the order of columns in PostgreSQL, it sounded like one of the smarter but slightly weird kid in a class room.

On the other hand, MySQL, who's not as bright as the smarter kid, is easy to talk to and feels friendlier and is generally the more popular kid.

I do appreciate the strictness of PostgreSQL but if I see small weird stuff, I tend to pick the one that is easier to get along with (meaning, more resource found on the net.)

Also to mention that MySQL is also getting 'brighter" since version 8.
