- More robust, fewer crashes, less corruption of data
- More features (JSON data type, partial indexes, function/expression indexes, window functions, CTEs, hstore, ranges/sequences/sets, too many to list)
- More disciplined (doesn't do things like auto-truncate input to get it to fit into a column)
- Not owned by Oracle, it's actively developed, regular major release schedule, etc.
- Better Python driver (don't know about other languages)
- Choice of languages for database functions/procedures (Python, JS, etc.)
Dbvisualizer (http://www.dbvis.com/) works with lots of databases and is really pretty cheap. Disclaimer: no connection other being a long term customer, I use it with Oracle, MySQL and Postgresql.
