The documentation for Postgres is far better than the one for Firebird. Due to licensing issues, the Firebird project
cannotpublish a full set of documentation that covers all versions. They have to rebuild the docs from scratch which is
happeningvery slowly. So when looking for specific feature you need to search several documentation sets which I find
veryunpleasant.
I also have the impression that there is a lot more momentum to the Postgres project than to Firebird.
