We use postgresql because it is open source, we have in-house experience to deal with it so we don't have any extra support costs and we don't need the features that are offered in commercial products that PostGreSQL does not have.

I use PostgreSQL because it has a ton of features the closed source products don't offer and is generally faster than the closed source solutions.
Granted there are scenarios where others are FASTER (SELECT COUNT(*)) but I find that if you are doing those items, you normally have a weird design anyway.
