I too dislike the current UI trends and I still think Django Admin is an ugly piece of software. It was ugly 10 years ago and it's still ugly today. It gets a lot of simple design things like margins very wrong.

It's purely visual though. It's a great piece of software to get out of the box.

Open source software and not nailing margins/padding - name a more classic combo.

All joking aside, I like that the Django admin still looks the same after almost 20 years. Cannot begin to impart how much value that thing has provided me.
