MS SQL is one fascinating piece of software and much closer to commercial big bro offering such as Oracle and DB2, yet much more user friendly and convenient.

This sentiment against it really always comes only from people who have not used it or have never touched the enterprise version which is a very mature ecosystem with lotta features available for ages now.

Most of my career I’ve been dealing with DBs and MSSql is the easiest to admin perhaps being also tightly integrated with all scripting in the platform. It also runs Linux and is doing it better than the rest can say for running Windows.
