I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic, because Django admin does look dated. But I actually think Django admin is excellent. Many times I've used Django not because I wanted to make a webpage or use Django's Views... but because I have a project that revolves around curating a database, and I want to use Django admin as the UI for my sqlite database.

I even prefer the older admin style, before the refresh, as it had higher density. It's amazing, though, it's UX is excellent. It does exactly what you want, with zero hassle.

Exactly, not everything needs to have rounded corners with 20px of padding. I also like the default design.

it does one job and does it well
