The latter is widely used because it operates on various platforms (Linux, Windows, UNIX) and with numerous scripting languages (Python, Perl, PHP, Java), not mentioning its wonderful performance even with huge databases. A lot of widely used platforms including WordPress or Joomla™ use MySQL databases to store their content.
