Yeah, I am one of those people. Needed a database in 2005, and MySQL was the de facto choice. Got used to it and never ran into problems that couldn’t be solved by getting better at schema design and indexing.
I never felt limited by MySQL and I am very comfortable with it, so never felt the need to try anything else. I might be missing something, but there is an opportunity cost in switching without a real motivating reason.
