Also from an operations point of view it's quite easy to manage. I'm not that experienced with Postgresql, but my understanding is that until recently you had to vacuum it every once in a while. Besides, it's also using some kind of threading model that most people handle by putting a proxy in front of Postgres to keep connections open.
Also, Mysql has had native replication for a very long time, including Galera which does two-step commit in a multimaster cluster. Although Postgres is making some headway in this regard, it is my impression that this is only quite recent and not yet fully up to par with Mysql yet.
