If you look at the ammount of important data actually stored, SQL Server is
close to the bottom. PostgreSQL, Ingres, and MySQL are gaining fast. Lots of people are realizing they can get rock-solid durability and low cost from open source alternatives.

Yes, there are a number of point-and-click database wannabes out there using SQL Server.
