MySQL doesn't have transactions and is not ACID.  Add-on packages
don't count when users can bypass them and corrupt tables directly. 
MySQL does not have referential integrity.

There are also just too many necessary features missing as well.  I
have no idea how folks can get along without things like left outer
joins (unless they're only using one big table, then why bother with
SQL?).  I can't think of a single db app I've written that doesn't use
both transactions and outer joins.  The work around for one outer join
clause is a union of two join clauses (talk about _slooooow_ ).  Folks
pick MySQL based only on speed which is gone the first time you have
to use the two clause kludge.
