But on the other hand PostGIS being independent from PostgreSQL has resulted in the best opensource GIS database. And with the recent addition of CREATE EXTENSION the PostgreSQL extension installation process has been heavily streamlined. Before CREATE EXTENSION it was a mess for larger extensions.

PostGIS is miles, miles ahead, for sure! Yet even "create extension" sounds a bit weird to most newcomers (me included at first!), especially against "built-in basic GIS".
