This is what I am using right now. It is quick for prototype. Saved a lot of time.

I dont really like the Admin panel. It has performance issues when we have more than 100k rows of data (due to the limitation of Administrate). We had to customize it to make it run normally.

Admin panel gems in Rails world have bad UI with a lot of problems.

Yeah, we're going to replace Administrate sometime soon with our own admin. Most of the admin gems don't do a great job surprisingly.

Curious, how do you feel about admin frameworks vs admin generators/scaffolding? I wonder how much of the let down of most admin frameworks (with DSLs) is just because of how damn hard it is to build something that can meet all those use cases, versus just having boiler-plate killing scaffolding tools that you can then modify the code of however you want.
