I wish they had aesthetic issues. IMHO things like different data types for text < 256 chars, < 1024 chars, etc, is plain butt ugly, [...]

Well, this is of course an area where PostgreSQL really wins. In PG I always use 'text' for strings of any length. I was horrified recently when doing an Oracle contract to find out that there's still no obvious way to have a string longer than 4000 chars!
