Obsolete as in, postgres is free/open/libre and as good or better than other options for 95% of projects, and growing. It's a similar situation to the old adage about "skating to where the puck is going," rather than where it is now.

I don't use Web DB UIs, but I like dbeaver and pgcli a lot. You may find them useful.

Thanks! Once I used dbeaver for SQL Server (can't remember why) but I can try it again in the future next time I use Postgres.

I think for Enterprise SQL Server is increasing if anything (due in part because so many Companies run windows Servers internally) and developers can install it for free.

I do like the power of PL/pgSQL although I've never worked with it in detail. I reminds me of the power of Oracle's syntax without the huge cost that only large companies can afford.
