If you don't need that stuff, then MySQL is free and it's extremely fast. The big change in MySQL for me was the addition of transactions. I don't use stored procedures very often in order to keep my applications more portable between databases, and I think I've only used views about twice in SQL Server. Depends on the type of development you do and what features you need.
The new version of MySQL will have stored procedures.
