This is my gripe with Postgres as well. Every time I see comments extolling the greatness of Postgres, I can't help but think "ah, that's a user, not a system administrator" and I think that's a completely fair judgement. Postgres is pretty great if you don't have to take care of it.
I manage Postgresql and the thing I really love about it is that there's not much no manage. It just works. Even setting up streaming replication is really easy.
Initial setup is rarely the hard part of any technology.
