PEM works with vanilla Postgres.  I don't know if it's as good as the MS
Enterprise manager is now (I suspect not), but it's better than the SQL
Ent. Mgr. from 2003, the last time I used it.

However, the "tools gap" between us and MS is certainly real.
Management tools are becoming less relevant as people move stuff to
cloud hosting, which usually comes with its own tools.  postgres.her
oku.com, for example, makes all of those widgets and tree views etc.
unnecessary, as most of that stuff is taken care of for you.  Same on
Microsoft's on Azure.

I personally lust after MS's analytics tools though.  Some of the
OSS/3rd-party stuff may be more powerful, but MS' kicks Pentaho's butt
at making it possible to do complex analytics without writing code.
