Mysql is mercurial, Postgres is git. With mysql everything comes somewhat intuitive. Postgres is antiintutive in a lot of places. Probably the people that created it didn't realize that the complexity of Oracle was not needed but was a job program for expensive consultants /s

My own take:

"With MySQL everything seems somewhat more intuitive at first, until it doesn't. Postgres seems antiintutive in some ways at first, until it isn't."
