Definitely a niche product.
Stonebraker's commentary was unfortunately spun by the ComputerWorld columnist. I hope people followed the link to his actual blog entry at http://www.databasecolumn.com/2007/09/one-size-fits-all.html where his arguement is that the idea of one database approach always being right just isn't true anyway. With that mindset, every technology is a niche product of sorts; just the size of the niche varies.
Given past history of this project and its relation to Stonebraker, I was tempted earlier today to suggest that the Postgres vs. PostgreSQL renaming argument be dropped in favor of renaming the database "Horizontica".
