Still, at least Oracle 10g provides for an easy GUI from which to configure
and perform imports and exports of data. Some of use have need for a
database that can dump all data and accept another series of new data...only
to be dropped again in a few days. The GUI tools make this MUCH easier -
especially when dealing with many different types of tables and data
formats.

The GUI file import/export is one feature I would love to see next to
enhance pgAdmin III!

People who can't figure out how to configure Postgres are not likely to
get far with Oracle ;-). Unless Oracle has made some *huge* strides in
ease of installation/administration with 10g, I see this making
practically no dent in MySQL. Or PG for that matter. All they're
really likely to accomplish is to cannibalize some of their own low-end
sales.
