That cannot be evaluated in the absence of some set of metrics
indicating your preferences and needs, and which would allow comparing
PostgreSQL to some other option.  (Whether that be Oracle, MS Access,
Berkeley DB, or storing data as text records in the style of Rand
RDB.)

To do a comparison requires comparing to something [some other way of
storing data], and requires having some "functional" basis for having
a preference.
