To add to my post: If you want one single good reason, take a look at the Wrox Press Expert One to One series books by Roger Jennings on database programming. He's a SQL Server and .Net guru. Read his chapters on performance tuning and concurrency management and weep for those guys.
And if that doesn't convince, I'd really recommend a good book on using the Oracle query optimiser to get performance out of that... Then you'll know why so few RDMBS projects deliver robusness on time and on budget.
