They've both continued to improve, a lot, but whenever I'm forced to use Mysql, there always seem to be lots of little annoying things that I run into that make me grumpy.

In any event, I'm positive Mysql is actually more widely used. But Fiats are more widely used than Ferraris, too.

Yes, I know your feeling. But sometimes you need to be pragmatic, specially when resources are limited, and in many use cases you can stick to the standard ORM functionality and forget about what's underneath.
