Why did you choose Maria over PG?

Why did you choose Maria over PG?
My two cents from beers and tech talks around the industry; a lot of DBAs were put off even trying MariaDB altogether due to the sale to Sun. They felt abandoned after putting the MySQL team on the map to begin with. It was felt the same could happen with MariaDB, so why bother?
I heard from a lot of teams then who planned MySQL migrations to Postgres before the Sun sale to Oracle due to the MySQL sale to Sun.
