Hi,
There also exists django-vanilla-views [1] which are a bit simplified
version of generic class based views. You may find them easier to cope
with (less magic).

I'm about to start a new website and I'll make it a point to use some
generic class based views when I think they are appropriate. I'll also
try and move my custom user application that I use for all of my
projects over to class based views as wells. Especially as the login()
and logout() functions are being deprecated in the next release and
being replace with class based views.
I'm sure I'll get the hang of them. I think the main problem I have is
that I haven't memorised them yet. I've pretty much memorised
everything that I need to do with function based views (with a few
exceptions which are not that hard to look up). I guess once I have
memorised everything that I need to know I'll be back being productive
with them.
Hopefully it all goes OK :).

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.

Andréas
