I agree with you Gustavo,

Data Models, especially the ones developed by ESRI are alone powerful. 
Imagine what triggers, views and procedures can do for PostGis Data Models?

In ArcMap you cant build that kinda of funcionality without coding in 
vb6 and c, skill that i dont possess. I dont possess postgreqsl or 
postgis skills (im learning it :P) but for what i know, its much much easir.

I can help in some stage of the developing datamodels for PostGis. Any 
others who are interested just let me know.
