True to a point, but MySQL lets you pick and match on a per-table basis.
I've used MySQL extensively, and use Postgres for most things now, and I prefer MySQL for many things. Not least replication, which is so much simpler with MySQL (I'd love to be proved wrong on this - please someone point me to a replication solution for Postgres that is as simple as for MySQL).
But the differences aren't great enough for most typical use that I'd worry too much about which one to use. Currently I use Postgres because that is what my team is familiar with.
