There's also an error in the document (which is not surprising, since the MySQL documentation on spatial is a little misleading, with most all of the OGC functions documented when only the constructors and accessors are actually fully implemented) which indicates that MySQL supports:

Buffer(g,d)
ConvexHull(g)
Difference(g1,g2)
Intersection(g1,g2)
SymDifference(g1,g2)
Union(g1,g2)

When it actually does not.

This seems to cover most of the major issues, although I'd point out that the speed difference between the two is mostly obvious when running single (or only a few) connections to the database; if you need something that can support dozens / scores (or more) of simultaneous connections the speed difference is markedly less, and sometimes is reversed with Postgres showing an advantage.

Last year I was ask by my manager to compare the spatial capabilities
of Postgres and mysql.

See attached the report I gave him... it was a 1 hour job. so no guarantees
