I don't see why anyone has a problem with this. I am certainly never
going to use it but if it helps someone who isn't a linux person to use
it on a project when they would have used something else (like mysql)
or if it convinces someone to run postgres on linux instead of windows
because they now have a graphical installer on linux then it seems like
a good thing to me. More users = bigger community = larger potential
pool of people to help out. Even if people can't code they can answer
newbie (or advanced) questions on the mailing lists or write
documentation or even just tell their dba friends about it.
The more people using postgres the better. If this will help then I'm
all for it. Just because I would rather do a ./configure make make
install doesn't mean that thats the best route for everyone.
As was said, a gui to produce postgresql.conf files (off host)
can be of value. Also for the tune-people a package builder
can be useful too.
For other people - if they dont learn a bit about their package system
on their choosen system - they will run into other problems soon or
later.
