I presume you're talking primarily about bulletin boards. I know
plenty
of web developers that use PostgreSQL and SQLite. I think a better
statement would be:
"... how inexperienced web developers default to using MySQL because
it
has a lower barrier to entry, without considering if it's the right
tool
for the job or how to configure and secure it appropriately for
production use."
You put it better than I ever could.
And if they really piss you off, you could always write your own.
Oh please don't.
I was only stating the spirit of open source - if you don't like it,
get your hands dirty and write your own. I've written my own forum
software several times.
Did you end up getting it right?
