Just wondering: why keep MySQL and not move to PostgreSQL?

I have been migrating all my projects to PostgreSQL because of personal believes (most of the time) and haven’t had any issues so I’m just wondering on the thought process.

PostgresSQL is better. We're all aware of that. But it's miniscule in importance. Especially if you use the ORMs and other decent tooling. The move to git isn't MySQL's fault. It's so more and bigger than that.

Love the downvote for asking a question :/

You're being downvoted because your question has nothing to do with the article. Try StackOverflow instead?

Umm... it’s about Mozilla’s rebuild of their system. I think it’s a valid question based on the fact that they have changed the architecture, languages and rendering but kept the SQL server the same. So no, my question is it’s 100% relevant.

I’m guess the downvotes is the community just getting a bit toxic on DBs.

They didn't keep the SQL server, they got rid of it and migrated to having everything stored in static files in Git.

Lol on stackoverflow one is not just downvoted, but forced to say sorry for asking the question when it's not deemed good enough
