I think I can safely speak for a newbie and I happen to dislike
createdb etc as well. I started out with postgreSQL with the
intention of writing an application-specific CORBA front-end
to it, so I cared most about the C++ interface. The existence of
the createdb command confused me for a while, leaving me thinking
I could do INSERT and SELECT etc from libpq++, but would have
to resort to UNIX calls to do createdb.
