Except that Postgresql's way of doing users and ACLs on the table is
pretty primitive, or at least very coarse, compared to MySQL.  In fact
most internal installations I've seen just use pg_hba.conf and set it to
trust entire hosts!

Has PostgreSQL improved the way that users, passwords, and rights are
done?  Last I checked it was essentially a combination of createuser and
pg_hba.conf,
