And I agree that PS is cool. At least, it was, up to a point.

No, it's not. You can do things in PS you can't do in PDF, and
vice-versa. For instance, the PS self-formatting stuff I mentioned
elsewhere in this thread, I couldn't have done using PDF. But, you can
do transparency much easier in PDF than you can in PS. That's why it's
so much work to, say, write a converter from PS to PDF - they have
significant differences.
