Installation of PostgreSQL are in my experience no harder than for MySQL. As for management and usage I would say PostgreSQL is simpler because it has a much better command line with excellent error messages and good tab completion. The backslash commands of psql are a bit confusing at first, but so are MySQL's SHOW commands and once you get used to the backslash commands they are very powerful.
