My line of business is entirely a Microsoft shop so everything we've ever written has been for MSSQL.
That being said, I can understand the benefits of having a choice in backend. For example, for our Zabbix deployment some engineer just installed mariadb+zabbix on a server and called it a day. This has caused us no end of troubles (ibdata misconfigured, undo files too small, etc). After the last time I had to rebuild it due to undo file corruption I swore that if it broke again I was switching to postgres. So far knocks on wood we haven't had any major issues. We're still looking into and planning for a postgres migration but we're hoping to hold out for a little longer prep time.
Maybe I should contribute a MSSQL engine for Zabbix so I can move it to a platform I'm more comfortable with. ;)
