The manual does a pretty good job of this, but to summarize, the
MyISAM format was added in 3.23 and it's the default table format.
MyISAM tables are faster and have quite a few features that ISAM
tables lack. The only reason I can think of for not using MyISAM
is that you have an application that relies on AUTO_INCREMENT IDs
being reused.
