I'm a writer. I studied programing and MySQL so I could create websites that I can publish my articles to. I don't have time to keep up with the endless technology - MySQL, PDO, stored procedures, PHP, _javascript_, JQuery, and on and on - especially when I have to work for a living. I've been using MySQL for years, so I'm familiar with it. It therefore makes sense for me to find a GUI as similar to MySQL as possible.
With phpMyAdmin, I can easily create, modify, copy and migrate tables between databases. If that can be done as easily with a command-line-tool, even after surviving the learning curve, then I'm interested. But it's really hard to imagine how that could be.
Thanks for the tips.

It distills to something about actually knowing what you’re doing.
Everyone has to start somewhere. The point is get someone using Postgres in manner they are comfortable with, then they can start exploring the possibilities. I personally find the command line more productive, but there is a learning curve.
