He might not like my contributions, but he's definitely here for the
betterment of Linux, even if he talks about his pet peeves.
FWIW,(some) people express anger and disastifaction with Postgres as well.
Each DB/DBMS has its flaws and these are usually realised once they are used
heavily and pushed to extremity.
The neighbour's lawn lways seems greener and there's no best database. It
involevs tweaking for personal purposes and there's a different tool for
each job. It's also the reason why so-called studies and benchmarks are
usually subjective, All DB's are the 'best' (or 'worst').
