Ah, the sign of someone whose database knowledge came from the MySQL manual. I don't want to start a DB flamewar, but the idea that "MySQL has some feature that PostgreSQL doesn't" is preposterous. How about full-SQL compliance (subqueries, etc.). How about a stored procedure language? How about triggers? How about real transactions? These are the things that database programmers are looking for, and MySQL has none of it. If you want replication, it's pretty easy to accomplish with a trigger on each replicated table.
