Generic views take most of the pain out of CRUD, and also take care of producing and validating forms. You can also steal some of the nice javascript widgets out of the admin code. You've still got to do the templating yourself, though, which means that most of the functionality that you can presently put into admin.py (things like how the changelists are displayed and filtered, how the forms are laid out, not to mention admin actions) you'll have to do yourself. I don't believe you can do inline formsets with generic views, which is unfortunate, but it's not hard with a simple custom view. All in all, I've found that doing my own admin functionality really isn't hard at all, and you suddenly have a huge amount of freedom; the only real pain in the ass is that you're starting from scratch with the html and css.
