as you have read, this depends on your circumstances. you _never_
specified what you are going to do with this database...

so does windows... again: not a bad software as well, depending on what
you want to do!

I don't regard me to be a genius, nevertheless had never any problems to
work with postgres. pgadmin has its hickups, but most of the time i'm
working on the console. you see again, it depends what you are doing
and how do you like to work
and arrogant support.
I always got fast and good answers in the forum. maybe what you
troubled was an echo of your own call? c'est le ton qui fait la musique,
as we like to say...

there is no 'best' or 'worts' it always depends on the task. I admit, I
as well could have used a good list showing in which circumstances
which database performs best. The problem is, that such a list must be
written by a person with thorough knowledge of all compared databases.
