One thing I really liked as a newcomer to PostgreSQL, compared to MySQL, was
the ability to create users and databases from command line, like a sysadm is
used to, meaning before learning how PostgreSQL works.
Compare to GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES to USER ... WITH PASS... ; flush privileges;
which tended not to work as stated in the documentation... well, I'm somewhat
attached to those command line tools.

Each time I setup a new postgresql server / service, not quite as often as B,
much more than C.

autovacuum + a cron every 30 mins on some tables that need frequent purging.
