I agree with this. I think I probably know as well as most people --
perhaps less well than maybe two people in the world -- where most of
the bodies in Slony are hidden, and I still find it a pain to
administer. Other systems are only somewhat less troublesome; and I
really do know about the concepts involved. I'm not tripping on
important things. It's just some work to set up.
Other systems hide that work.
Given that (for instance) psql is really very easy to use once you
know a few things, the ongoing pain of simple replication in Postgres
is a big wart.
