You do have a point. PostgreSQL undoubtedly has many more knobs and do you do end up having to learn a fair bit to do stuff like replication. I'd rather spend more time understanding things up-front and have a reliable solution rather than flick a switch and have something which initially works but I'm not too confident in. That's fine for initial development I suppose, but not in production.
