My present theory is that most users make the decision regarding ease of use before even installing the software. If you look at the MySQL website within 1 or 2 clicks, you know that there is a gui for queries, a gui for administration, drivers or interfaces for many programming langauges. They have GIS, Unicode, full text searching, multi-master replication, ANSI compliance, etc. Not that all of those items are necessarily true, but that is what the user believes. In contrast, from the PostgresSQL website I know PostgreSQL can deal with a large dataset, has lots of backend features, supports many languages. Looking hard enough you might find a link to the pgreplication which currently has the goal of integrating with PostgreSQL 7.2 ;) You don't learn anything about the GUIs (any of them) within the first couple of clicks. Since many users (even linux users) associate command lines with difficulty of use, the first impression is that PostgreSQL is difficult to use.
