If it would only run flawlessly on Windows, I would gladly run Postgres. It doesn't though, so I chose MySQL for my project. This was two years ago however, things might have changed.

*edit: I recognize a lot of what you mentioned though, and MySQL sure has its draw backs. Still it seems to work fine for a lot of people.
