> When I tried to create complex input forms with a lot of complicated, relational data that users would be able to input and modify, it felt so much harder than exposing the data models in the admin panel Hmm, really interesting. I can't say I've ever run into this, and maybe it's just that Django is so good at the admin stuff, it makes everything else look hard in comparison. Most forms I have start off as subclasses as ModelForm. If I need to combine two forms on one page, I just give the form a prefix and populate them both within the same <form> tag. I'm not sure if this is the sort of more "complicated" use case you were thinking of, but y4mi's suggestion of breaking forms into sections with wizards is another great way to go about it.
