OH: "PostgreSQL is the Linux of databases" It's probably equally unstoppable and will completely dominate the database ecosystem in the next 10-20 years. What's your opinion on this?

I think that "one size fits all" is a myth.
#PostgreSQL has many technical advantages, but two problems damage it a lot: 1) its community doesn't make criticism, which is essential to improve 2) there is no proper bug tracker6 replies 5 retweets 15 likes -
tbh no one likes taking criticism.. try proposing as recommendations instead of criticisms

Make actually meant make. I'm not complaining about some bad reply I received, it didn't happen. I'm observing that the PostgreSQL community only says great things about their favorite DB. As a consequence, most of them don't feel that its flaws should be fixed.

Agree with the problem description. Not as much with your analysis of why it's happening though. In a good number of cases it's also just a) lack of real world usage of postgres in case of devs b) not knowing what worked out well in other databases.https://twitter.com/AndresFreundTec/status/1227324077083328512 …

It could be a mix of reasons, but yes I agree on your points, especially B.

One problem there is also that a lot of the "this is how it's done" industry consensus imo didn't actually turn out to work all that well. So there's a pretty good excuse for general skepticism.

I'm starting to feel bad. When I wrote that I appreciate PostgreSQL I was honest. I hope that this row of criticism (which seems to me correct) won't be taken as an attack.

No need imo. I think PG/community does a lot of things well. Discussing what we could improve / weaknesses isn't about discrediting it, it's about improving. (obviously criticism can be not well intentioned) I'm responding because it's something I've been thinking about.
