LOL!

PostgreSQL has been mature for *years*. Literally. It dates back to the
early 1980s.

You should instead be thinking that Ubuntu and its associated packagers
aren't quite mature enough to use.  That statement at least has a kernel of
truth to it.  phpPgAdmin works just fine when installed by hand.  I am a fan
of pgAdminIII myself, if I feel like using a GUI at all. Most of the time,
though, I'm running to machines via SSH and hell no, they don't have web
based management interfaces running on the Internet. I simply use psql.

And just in case you were wondering, psql is quite mature, too.  :)
