MySQL vs MariaDB

[AppleAndMango]

Hey.

So I've been reading around and I've noticed that MariaDB is generally suggested more than MySQL as a database server, I've Googled and I can't seem to find a clear answer to my question of what's the difference and why do people prefer MariaDB over MySQL.

Anyone feel like explaining?

Thanks!

This is more qualitative than quantitative, but the big thing in my book is that MariaDB tends to be better at automatically recovering from replication problems.
