Not really. In nearly every case, the "Postgres is too hard" complaints are really just "Postgres doesn't work exactly like MySQL" complaints.

The area MySQL people get hung up on, generally, is the security model in pg_hba.conf. But this is a seriously powerful feature, and not at all hard to configure once you grasp what's going on.

I appreciate the note about complaints. I try to filter these kinds of things out (like amazon reviews that say "it's not what I thought it was so I rate a zero").

I will look into the security conf the next time I try it out. Thanks!
