Okay, I see your point and Justin's.
My attitude comes from thinking that anyone who uses PostgreSQL is
going to do so as part of a development project. If that were true, I
think that my statement would follow, since I believe that anyone who
develops well does so using version control. But maybe it's not true
that all PostgreSQL users are developers. A mail merge is a good
example of something you can do with PostgreSQL without being a
developer.
