Meh, personal preference there no doubt.  I'd be okay with both programs
supporting both commands, but the \into command as described here would
be quite unreasonable to implement in psql.  It needs to act more like
a semicolon-substitute, as \g and the rest of its family do.  (I think
I'd also lobby for spelling it \ginto.)
