I tested out the class based views in Django 1.3, but decided that I didn't like the complexity that all the MixIns added. I was constantly having to remember which things each MixIn added to my class. I found it simpler to just do function based views with several decorators.

How do you add decorators to a class based view? I find this annoying:

    dashboard = login_required(DashboardView.as_view())

Takes the fun out of decorators for me.
