We switched from MySQL at work probably ~5 years ago. Half following the hype, and half because we had a couple instances of DB corruption on MySQL and weren't ever able to determine the cause.

Postgres has been great, and it's free, so we roll it for almost everything now. I say almost everything because sometimes SQLite is a better fit-- when a DB is only a few MB on an internal app etc.
