The difference is that PostgreSQL does not bundle as much functionality
as MySQL does. Also the simple fact that you have plenty of choices in
PostgreSQL makes it harder as you grow. This is why developers recommend
other developers to use MySQL. Its not only easy to setup, but it will
do what most of them expect even if they grow bigger. Like replication
is in there by default etc.
