In 2010-2015 when HN and Twitter or all social media at the time thought Postgres would take over the DB world in 10 years time. And yet Postgres 2025 ( ignoring extensions ) is still not competing well with Oracle / MSSQL in 2010-2015. And ignoring politics or preference MySQL is still in many ways better than Postgres.

I am sure some day it would come. But it will likely take another 10 years. I just hope Neki + Oriole could come sooner.

Depends on what circles you are in. If you spend time on HN you see a lot of SQLite and Postgres discussion and building. I can't remember the last time I saw an interesting article here about using MySQL/Oracle/MSSQL. You use those because your CIO told you, like COBOL.

Postgres has mostly taken over the world outside of enterprise.

Enterprise has its own needs largely irrelevant to the rest of us.
