Looks like David Johnston beat me to it! :-) But this is what I had in mind:

SELECT  s.d AS dow,
         COUNT(u.id) c
FROM    generate_series(0, 6) s(d)
LEFT OUTER JOIN users u
ON      EXTRACT(dow FROM created) = s.d
GROUP BY dow
ORDER BY dow
;

You can also get human-readable DOW names by creating a 7-row CTE table
and joining to it based on the numeric dow.
