I stuck my two cents in of course. :) 
I think most people are of the opinion that each too is good to fit a
certain niche. Without wanting to starta thread war I think postgres is
great, but for many people the learning curve is too great and thus
MySQL is a good introduction.
I think a lot of people get started in MySQL and move up to Postgres.
