I really think you should revisit CBV's - you don't have to use the generic views unless they make sense. I regularly override most of my own with mixins and the like. And like you said - querying the database and returning a template is probably one of the most common things I do. That's a detail view and 3 rows of code.
I understand that you like the way you work - but I think CBV's is probably one of the greatest additions to django - mostly because of mixins and inheritance. Regarding the need to use 2 forms in the same view - I haven't stumbled across that usecase yet - but I probably wouldn't have an issue in CBV's either - but couldn't use the generic FormView for that though.
