Based on your definition we should all be impressed by Microsoft technology too. Commercial success means good sales and marketing not good technology. Not that the two can't coexist ... but in this case the success is related to the fact that the tool is free and little else.

I have yet to see anyone recover from MySQL or PostgreSQL after a crash without losing transactions: Not once. And if you think you can ... give me a byte editor and five minutes and I'll be glad to see if your belief system is valid.
