I like it, we run it as the primary datastore for one of our products (a bioinformatics DB) where the relational + JSONB mix genuinely matters. Rock solid under load, and the tooling (pg_dump, extensions like pgvector) covers most things we'd otherwise reach for a separate service for.

I like PostgreSQL because it just works for my relational database and I support FOSS. The community support is awesome. Touché.

PostgreSQL is mandatory for heavy users of GIS, specially QGIS. Setting up is not exactly hard, as the administrator just need to edit two files and open the right firewall ports. The challenge begins when data needs to be imported and maintained. PostgreSQL can be combined with a good and free data analysis tool like KNIME (KNIME can even help inexperienced admins to get data into the database). Speaking as a openSUSE user, for queries, check DBeaver (has a free community version) and DataGrip (wonderful, but commercial paid software); for modelling, check Visual Paradigm (has a very limited community version and very powerful well paid versions).
Its my favorit database. I used MS SQL, Firebird, MySQL but this is the best.
Do you want to tell us, what you like so much about PostgreSQL that makes it so much better than the other databases?

It's really great database system.
I can't understand why people still using Ms SQL Server or MySQL Server... Postgresql is really fast, secure and easy. And also FREE! :) If you don't use ORACLE, or you don't want to pay huge money for ORACLE license; what are you waiting for?
just use POSTGRESQL. You won't be regret ;)
