Same with Drupal: create a type (using the web interface or via code) and you get free admin forms.

Don't forget though that you have to hack the forms to remove all the confusing garbage admin stuff that Drupal will display to anyone you give node admin permissions to.

It's a real pain in the butt to create user facing content creation forms in Drupal.

It's pretty rare that you'd give full node admin permissions to typical business users or end users. "Create" and "edit" permissions are usually sufficient for most elevated roles, and that hides a lot of the admin-specific functions that show up on the forms, no?

Very true. Drupal is like Microsoft Word... it takes initiative to do things you may not have asked for.
