It's always like that. The mediocre products get all the hype, and you have to hunt to find the gems
I wouldn't say Postgres is a mediocre product. I couldn't even say the same for MySQL or sqlite, as they all have their usage scenarios. Continue writing about Firebird and more people will get to know it and use it if they think is better for their projects.
Mediocre is your attitude.

It is a real pity that Firebird doesn't get the attention it deserves compared to other open-source RDMS. It's like an undiscovered gem! For me Firebird beats the pants off MySQL and PostgreSQL. It has more features, is rock solid and stable, is really fast, has an extremely small install footprint, is easy to manage and easy to deploy. I use it for all my commercial and open-source work.
