The cool thing about django admin is how easy it is to customize within the bounds that it was designed for. You have one liners to add calculated values, complex filters, inline records from related tables, a permission model to limit operations and/or access to certain objects (or records), custom actions on a set or subset of items, import/export, etc etc. 99% of it without touching HTML or CSS. If you need something more complex, you just build it, but right out of the box it provides a lot of options for the content managers. If you stay within the bounds of how it was designed, the extensibility model is solid.
