That's because replication isn't part of basic PG support.  You can choose
a couple of options, though:

PGCluster - Multi-master no delay synchronus replication for load sharing
or HA. Large objects are now supported.

Slony-I - Master to multi-slave cascading and almost-failover.

PostgreSQL has had operators and index support for polygons and the like
forever.  Some of the earliest users of PG with large databases were in
the GIS realm.

The people who wrote MySQL have the ethical standards of the George W.
Bush administration.
