Why Django Sucks

This got a lot better in 1.4: TemplateResponse and the list filter API meant some gnarly code removal on my biggest customized admin project.

That said, I also chose to implement many of my admin changes at a higher level: templates which use jQuery, etc. and interact with the REST API for e.g. complex object creation are much easier than the crazy form / widget hacks I used to try.

I'm about +10 on that approach: customize the admin until you hit a difficult point, then stop trying to hammer screws.

But the only tool I HAVE is a hammer!
