I agree BUT...I've personally witnessed SQL Sever Express do incredible things. Things you wouldn't think possible with an express version. No exaggeration, mind blowing level stuff.
It's still a valid point that Voat can be run entirely on free software for testing / development though.
My experience with PG is that upgrades are very painful and it requires a fair amount of maintenance. So either you risk serious downtime wihle upgrading or have to stick with soon-to-be ancient versions of the database. I've had good experiences with MongoDB for most generic stuff, and specialized databases in addition to that, where feasible. For instance, tabular numeric data in some form of SQL DB, especially when handling money and such, simpler key-value DB's like Redis where speed matters (for instance caches or session data).
