The interesting part is where somebody asks why NOT use postgres, and
it's answers could give some additional hints to those interested on
what people find missing from postgres to adopt it.

Just to summarize some of the answers:
* major PITA to upgrade between major versions;

I wonder which other databases (also commercial) can do that.

* executing a single query on multiple cpus/cores;
* no direct table cache control;
* accent-insensitive text comparisons;

multiple collations would be nice...
just accent-insensitive would not make much sense imho.

* fast select count(*);

SELECT count(*) WHERE False; is very fast for me ;)

TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to
      choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
      match
