All these problems are problems of Pgfe, rather than PostgreSQL.
Anyway, let the up to the user to decide what to use and what not. He
or she knows it better.
The problem of PostgreSQL, as this topic suggest, that things related
to PostgreSQL (including client interfaces) "relegates in the dark
corners of notes and appendices". But sometimes the situation is even
worse, because that related things is in the dark corners of Internet
and not even mentioned in the documentation at all!
