> Postgres was a "it exists" database back in the early 2000's.

If we're really nitpicking it's not saying Postgres is the most popular database since the early 2000's. If you base it of off install counts as the metric, I would assume the statement is true since I'd think it's either Postgres or MySQL today.

I'm glad that Postgres is now a thing and is now being offered in comparison to MySQL. The stack of LAMP in 05's is what kept it down below.

LAPP wasn't a thing, which is now. And Apache is falling behind thanks to nginx.

It wasn't until JSON and Postgres supporting JSON that made developers change their cog. 2012, and I'd agree.

I think the real turning point was the introduction of Postgres extension in 9.1 (2011).
