I once drove a manual all the time. I swore by the manual. I loved the
control, the feeling (ridiculously) that I was a race car driver on the
Urban track.

Then I got an automatic and realized how damn nice it was to not be in
control or have to worry about whether or not I should shift at 3k RPMS
or 4k RPMS. (Then I drove a manual on the wrong side of the road in
Ireland and was even happier that I prefer automatics)

We can't just point at something and say, "Oh that will work" because we
haven't tried to see how it is going to work with our requirements.

I wouldn't expect any customer to use postgresql because it has an
Elephant as a mascot. I expect them to use it because it is the best
choice for their requirements.
