+ rich SQL support + easy to install / configure + portable + low resource usage + excellent documentation + great community support + many options for commercial support + liberal license + understandable source code The only thing I miss in PostgreSQL is eager update-everywhere replication. There are commercial offerings for that, but all the community offerings are either lazy or master-slave.
