For me the most annoying things are:

- in mysql the text field has a max size (mysql does not really
provide arbitrary length text fields)
- each "alter table" must be done in its own transaction that means I
was forced to break migrations in multiple transactions.

It seems everything in mysql has a small caveat. Things just always
work in postgresql as one would expect.
