Isn't SQLite a de facto standard? Seems like it to me. If I want an embedded SQL engine, it is the "nobody got fired for selecting" choice. A competitor needs to offer something very compelling to unseat it.

I mean as in: Most web stacks do not default to sqlite over MySQL or postgres. Why not? Best default for most users, apparently.

I think in the past it was more obvious. Rails switched to SQLite as the default somewhat recently

		Yeah, that's the one prominent example but, like you said, also just rather recently. Since "the network is slow, duh" has always been true, I wonder why.
