My reasons for having a my own login page: 1. I trying to develop an address book kind of application for our internal use. 2. It turns out I am mostly doing CRUD. 3. Actually 'admin as the app' should suit my requirement. The catch was, I want to show only selected models to the selected people, where as the admin (with oldforms) shows all the models. Of course I can auth middleware to restrict access, but people will know what models exist. 4. newforms-admin was promising, but I got repeatedly bitten by a bug which was about some modules getting reloaded more than once (sorry, I don't remember the ticket number, but the ticket confirm it to be a yet to be fixed bug) 5. So I decided to roll-out my own admin kind of functionality, but without nice css formatting etc (Frankly I don't know css yet) 6. The login page that comes with contrib.auth is too colourful compared to other pages, and also exposes the admin page to the users unnecessarily. The reason may be unconvincing, but that is what it is.
