Ok, but I think the other sense of the question is even more interesting:
why do people use MSQL instead of PostgreSQL?
My point is that while pg beats msql hands down on features, speed is
important enough to a lot of users that they choose msql instead. If we
had more speed, we would have even more success than we do now.

The irony is that Bill Gates claims to be making a stable operating
