There is no fundamental difference between generic view and the Admin form. The Admin application is really just an introspective application that sets up a generic view for every model in the application. A lot of work has gone into making the CSS and javascript nice and pretty for the admin view, but under the hood, its essentially the same code. > 2) Which determinant aspects should force me to use new forms instead > of Generic Views? A generic view is an abstraction of the most common types of view that a web application will need: - show me the contents of a single object - Let me edit the fields of a single object - Show me a list of objects etc If you have a view that doesn't meet this basic requirements, you'll need to write your own view. If that view requires the entry of form data, you'll need to use newforms.
