Yes, the title is click-baity. Yes, Postgres isn't perfect and not the "best" choice for every possible use case in the universe.

But Postgres is a work of art, and compared to all the other relational database options, if it's ultimately crowned the king of them all, it'd be well deserved.

I'd also say that the PG protocol and the extensions ecosystem are as important as the database engine.
