Well Drizzle isnt production ready. And if you do not host / run your own server, at times it hard to find a hosting service that offers Postgres. I my self Love MySQL, been using it for over 8 years now. The one good thing about Postgres is the geospatial functions, no other open source DB has them(not like postgres). I have found Postgres a pain to admin also. Much harder then MySQL. I guess its built to have a crap load of different things being connected to it. Another good thing about MySQL, phpmyadmin ;)
