I suppose it depends on who is going to be using the admin: * If you're creating a product, and want to give them access to some kind of backend, then I would suggest you write your own. * If it's just a handful of users, like a blog, then I think it pretty much covers everything. I wrote a custom backend for one of my products because I wanted to make it dirt easy and fun to use, but at work I just give them access to django-admin.
