We need to be careful on this... a few years ago it was easy to bash MySQL on a feature-comparison basis. They got tired of that and have been working to "check off the boxes" on a feature comparison chart. Now, many of these features are pretty incomplete, and many of them have non-trivial flaws/gotchas... but it's much harder to present those things in a way that makes a persuasive case.

In case you haven't already, you should google: mysql gotchas.
