Oh for sure. It took me forever to figure out how to get Oracle running in a docker image as a new Oracle user. I'm not sure if I ever even figured out how to create a table. Postgres was hard to learn initially coming from the simplicity of MySQL and Oracle feels another step harder.
I didn't say I expect commercial software to perform better though, just that I expect them to be competitive.
I also wouldn't choose a commercial db personally but dunking on them doesn't make sense either. The engineers behind them are just as good as those behind OSS.
