Coming from a MySQL background, I sort-of assumed PostgreSQL worked the same way. I remember after setting up the server, pgAdmin was very difficult to navigate. I managed to get a database and table made and got some data in (using SQL) but I couldn't view any of the data. Compared to MySQL + Sequel Pro it was very difficult to use for a beginner.
Postgres is very powerful and can do a lot. I think I just need a good tutorial and some time to get used to it.
