Just a heads up: Admin gems are only suitable for projects that are simple and stay simple. If you want to do something that's not provided by your admin gem, you'll be fighting it. I have gone through that arduous path myself multiple times, only to end up rewriting everything from scratch.
I would love to know if Django's Admin fares better in this regard.

- Daishiman 10y agoI've used the Django admin in pretty much every production project I've touched. It's the bees' knees. There's some customization overhead that becomes higher than doing your own thing is you really want to make your own admin views, but at that point nobody's stopping you from making dashboards from scratch.
- bigmanwalter 10y agoI came to a similar conclusion in Django. I now build my own admin interfaces.
