I think it has to do with the times. Because sl admin came up in a pre DRF time when people use Django to serve templates, the work to build it into the framework came more naturally. With lots of more modern web app frameworks mainly focusing on just being APIs for single page applications, having html templates and stuff in the core project and having contributors build this stuff in doesn’t happen as naturally.
I totally agree though- huge selling point of Django!
Funny that this is the exact opposite of "Speed matters: Why working quickly is more important than it seems" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36312295) from a couple days ago here.
Both speed and "slow productivity" have their place depending on the type of work you do.
I think for junior and mid level ICs, and leadership/management focused people (maybe even senior ICs), speed is paramount.
For staff/principal roles, the balance shifts toward being able to be able to focus more singularly on very challenging problems.
Maybe for consumer apps, but for a lot of enterprise apps that have to be compatible with existing APIs or domain-specific data standard that require two name fields, that’s not really a viable approach.
