i hate mysql as well, but it almost runs the world, and onboarded a whole generation of young coders.
postgres is not panacea (especially on RDS), i might even say we(my team) have more outages because of it than if we were using mysql (but thats just my gut feeling)
the comment about how the team was so oblivious to "genuinely believe in mysql" was in very poor taste.
