In your original post, you wrote : "for our large web apps"; if that
really is the case, I suggest you invest some time into learning the
command line interface, which gives you very fine control over the
modeling.
on graphical tools : they're around, but I never bothered to learn them,
and I come from an Access background. Google for pgAdmin
on replication : several tools in production use, lots of references
search the list archives; same thing, I doubt you can setup an efficient
replication of a large web app from a graphical tool, you'll have to
learn the commands/configuration settings, etc...
on the business case : I talked less than a week ago to the technical
director at this company
http://www.lusis.fr/SITE/
who tells me they use PostgreSQL.
So if it works for the (very) large monetary transfers between banks, it
should work for you.
