What's everyones take on using something like Pinax where a lot of things are done and bundled up for you?

I've never been a huge fan of this approach. I like Django because it removes some of the annoying parts of creating a web app, but I don't like when the user registration, commenting, profiles, avatars, and more site-specific functionality like "groups/message boards" are pre-built for me

Recently pinax added a basic_project in addition to a complete_project.

In the basic project fewer things are provided, like registration with openid support and email validation. In addition there's a structure to create your menus and submenus.

So far I found it a very good starting point for my development and not obtrusive at all.
