And MySQL is much closer to being a competitor now than they were in
4.1. And feature-wise they'll probably equal PostgreSQL in the next
release. Will the features be anywhere near as robust or well thought

Don't forget that they got nested transactions and PITR both before us.
They will also shortly have really nice partitioning before us...
...don't underestimate their development speed.
