Yes, EDB has some nice tools (no denying that) but porting from Oracle to PostgreSQL proper is not difficult in the least (although time consuming).
I would suggest refrain from dismissing EnterpriseDB's PostgreSQL Advanced Server like that. It is not free like the community version of Postgres but the cost pays for developer time spent adding the additional features which make it capable of being a drop-in replacement of Oracle. For an organization migrating off of Oracle paying for that would make a lot of sense because of the developer time (and cost) saved by porting to that rather than the additional effort of migration to community Postgres. It also has the additional benefit of providing all the programming features that their app developers have become used to when working with Oracle.
The EnterpriseDB developers are some of the most active contributors to the community version of Postgres and the advancements made in the community version are included in EnterpriseDB Advanced Server as well.
