I agree with this. I think I probably know as well as most people -- perhaps less well than maybe two people in the world -- where most of the bodies in Slony are hidden, and I still find it a pain to administer. Other systems are only somewhat less troublesome; and I really do know about the concepts involved. I'm not tripping on important things. It's just some work to set up. Other systems hide that work. Given that (for instance) psql is really very easy to use once you know a few things, the ongoing pain of simple replication in Postgres is a big wart.
