Building crud apps actually is a challenge! I've seen three projects over the last year that are basically CRUD apps with some email notifications and that's it. And yet, because there's a custom workflow and some custom UI components, the developers mess up the CRUD part because it "looks" different and they manufacture a whole bunch of edge cases. Even with the hand-holding and guidance offered by Django and Rails, you still get low-complexity CRUD business apps that are drowning in bugs.
