Pretty easy. RDBMs have a shit API (SQL is terrible) and the largest (PostgreSQL) have a shit HA story. IMO you should think why you are using an RDBMs.

I have used both and have never regretted NOT using an RDBMs. Maybe its a taste thing but I'd rather use a simple K/V database than a relational database any day.
