It's not FUD. Most of us just like to use a database whose developers didn't have to be dragged kicking and screaming into the modern age. Remember when MySQL claimed foreign keys and relational integrity were useless?
Sure, they now support referential integrity and transactions in InnoDB, but MyISAM is still the default, because it's faster. I have no idea why you're claiming that 'Google core' (whatever that's supposed to mean) uses MySQL; the only homegrown Google project known to use MySQL is AdWords.
Anyhow, jamongkad wanted an alternative to MySQL, so I gave him one.
