Drupal 8 now has views as a core module, which so far has allowed me to make custom fields for editors and allow them to relate the data entry with other entries or tags/taxomonies. Its the only CMS I've experienced so far that allows me to make data entry highly customized towards the content being added. I'm not sure what you're specifically looking at, but views is pretty much a big abstraction layer for the database, there's a lot you can do with it.
