newbie queston: why would anyone use Oracle?

I spent years developing with SQL Server, now I'm learning Oracle. It's like 
twice as expensive, seems to me a lot harder to maintain. I never ran into 
something I couldn't do in MS SQL - why exactly would anyone go through the 
extra expense and hassle of using Oracle instead? I'm not asking to get 
anyone mad - I'd just like to know a bit more about how Oracle is different 
(and supposedly better) to make my transition make a little more sense.



TIA,



Paul
