Rails has facilities in place for Admin page generation as well. For CRUD entry this works. However, as soon as you begin to want something beyond that (order lines displayed with an order or a shipping price matrix display for the product you are shipping) the auto-generation facilities break down and you have to code it manually anyway. I find that I can write an administration interface in Dabo that has a better workflow in about the same time as having to futz with the auto-generated one, especially if I have to do anything complicated. > My other dabo projects are in-house tools like our CD cover maker that > reads the tree of a CD/DVD and creates a nice cover PDF via TeX. > At the moment I don't use any dabo apps with a database connection - > for my needs django's admin is mostly easier. > Sounds like a cool little app. I have a small personal app to organize my music collection (mass edit tags, auto-relocate files in a directory structure based on tag information, etc.).
