PostgreSQL is actually LESS trouble than mysql.  ;)  I'd argue that 
they're both on a fairly similar playing field - both unix daemons, both 
intended to have someone paying attention to what's up with them, both 
relatively reliable.

Postgresql just doesn't, um, do things like *lose all of your data* 
periodically.
