For me SQLite is a better choice because the default database Rails  
uses is constant across all platforms. And maybe it's just me, but I  
like the idea of having a *vendor agnostic* DB used by default (we are  
not advertising MySQL AB that puts enterprise subscription ads even in  
documentation now and acts_as_enterprisey every way they can; but  
still for serious geospatial apps you have to go with Postgres because  
MySQL puts their efforts in marketing, not in database development).
