There was a similar thread a while back, here was my thought at the
time:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-advocacy/2009-03/msg00049.php
I think maybe words like "analytics" and "expressiveness" are both
interesting, and vague enough to capture a lot of the new features that
went in.
CTEs and window functions are the obvious ones, but everything from
"auto-explain" to the visibility map (and even bumping the default stats
to 100) seem to make PostgreSQL into a more complete solution to solve
that class of problem -- including the manageability and performance
aspects to make it work. I think there is a story here somewhere.
