Well, pgAdmin has come a long way -- some of my fellow admins that have Windows workstations use it, and does the
developersat my company. Don't know Tora thought, must try it out sometime.
However, I think some sort of scheduling like MS SQL offers would be very helpful for newcomers. Scheduling stuff like
backup(now only dumps), vacuum's and such with cron is unfortunately not straight-forward enough.
Merging configuration files is good. However, things like access control should IMO be configurable with SQL commands
--which would also help in development of better administration tools.
Just my two cents.
