  1. I can't believe the praise PostgreSQL gets here, I find it out of the box unusable for most applications. Reason? Poor default collations, which forces the application layer to add complexity when it needs to do case-insensitive or accent-insensitive searches. Let alone the rules involving other character sets. Every application I worked on in the last 30 years needed this. Users input search terms, application has to look it up, it should be the simplest thing possible and work out of the box. When it is not, the whole platform is unsuited to support such (read nearly-all) applications!
