Before any of the should-be-really-transactional-engine of MySQL will be as mature as pg's one, pg will have a lot more feature/speed/development sugar. If I didn't need a transactional engine I'd be happy to go (well not really happy[1]) with MySQL and any of its engines. It is nice to reuse and mix and match different tools.
