I didn't want to deal with the front-end. It took me, however, less time to create a custom front-end (for a particular task) than dealing with Django-admin. YMMV. With Entity Framework and Dapper, I don't think I can be more productive at the back-end in any other stack than I'm with .NET. If I have a couple of models, I'm usually done with basic CRUD, including REST controllers under an hour. For the front-end, I wrote a couple of purpose-built generators for now.
