Postgres has a very gentle learning curve. By which I mean that it
takes an extremely long time, perhaps a lifetime, to fully appreciate
it. On the other hand, it is definitely worth it. Each new discovery
is worth the effort and the wait.
But most people, including myself, don't even want to know the
documentation exists (for anything). We just want to plunge in and do
it.
So, perhaps what is needed in any sort of battle with MySQL is an
introductory documentation that gives specific examples of how to
achieve "oh wow!" worthwhile results quickly with Postgres.
I am sure that this is already in place. Perhaps it needs to be
separated from the regular documentation and buffed to make it truly
short and truly rewarding to study. And showcased.
This is the better version of my dumbing down idea.

P.S. I noticed in my brief journey into the MySQL docs that they used
color (ineffectively) and they attempted a kind of bulleted outline
format.
P. P. S. You want to get to grandma's house. You want to drive a
car. You want to learn to drive the car quickly.
