I know a bunch of people working for huge sites that love Postgres but
use MySQL. The main reason is they build what Postgres is famous for at
a higher level and in a more specialized way with their own glue.

It's easy to get visibility if you're on the internet and you're huge.

But not everyone can "rebuild" eg. transactions at a higher level and
need as much specialized solutions.

On the other hand for historical reasons MySQL and PHP have nearly
monopolized the hosting space and for many web sites it's hard to
appreciate the difference between Postgres and MySQL (unless your DB
crash and burn).

That's what most people perceive as "the mainstream" if you don't have
a big marketing dept lying.
