"Not many web developers" is a completely subjective statement which has
no basis in fact. How many is "not many"? Is that two? One hundred? Two
million? Twenty million?
How many is "many web developers"? Must be more than "not many", eh?
Probably can't narrow it down much beyond that :/
Hmm. Given the proven performance scaling benefits from Postgres, one
could also say "not many web developers feel that their applications
need to scale beyond 5 simultaneous users". Or "not many web developers
need transaction-enabled databases", or ???
