front-end to Postgres

Hi,

I am curious what others out in the community are using as a front-end
to Postgres.  We are currently using Microsoft Access & Python CGI
scripts.  We would love to move away from Access, but haven't found an
alternate that provides the same kind of rapid development of forms &
reports.  Our company loves to collect data so we have lots & lots of
forms.  There are only two of us & we have 7 servers plus 120 computers
to maintain.  Python has been great, but the CGI scripts take more time
to develop & don't run as fast.  What has worked we for others?  Java?
AJAX? PHP?  Any suggestions would be much appreciated.  We don't mind
something with a learning curve.  We use open source where we can
(Fedora, Postgres, Bugzilla), but could probably talk management into
spending money for a good solution.
