I have used django in the past.  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.

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.).
