As selling point it's often easy to just try to switch from MySQL to
PostgreSQL using Pg_chameleon so one can play around PostgreSQL
capabilities using his own datum! Tool page:

As for "GUI" i could imagine some smooth sailing with some tool that
could speak both MySQL and PostgreSQL, so one can use it irrelevant of
when one changes underlying db. Datagrip by jetbrains maybe?

Best,
