Paolo,

Sharing/using data doesn't  always mean inside the same network/company. Some 
time you need to share data outside you company and so it is easier to share 
files. Some user are not DB user but can use QGIS for what they need.

But I am sure you know this ;) 

I always talk about spatialite format in my trainning as I am sure it is the 
futur most common GIS formats. Spatialite and PostGIS support the same OGC 
standard for DB (and same lib ?) so spatial functions are the same.

I tested migrating a SQL script a few monthes ago from PostGIS to Spatialite 
and I only need to change geometry column name to make things working :)

Y.
