You probably don't want any further discussion because you have made a subjective opinion the cornerstone of a very stupid argument.

Ask people from Wales, Iran, France, Germany and the US which is the easiest language to learn and guess how many answers you will get. So it does not matter how long you leave your caps lock key on for, you are just spouting wind.

And if multi version read consistency is such an arhitectural howler, how come Microsoft who have the only real competitor aside from IBM out of the databases you mention are trying their hardest to implement it. It will leave IBM alone with MySQL and Sybase as the only supplier of a database where you have to code concurrency in your application. Which is about as attractive as it sounds.
