Go with Laravel and some admin packages and you generate CRUD pages in minutes. And I think with Django, that is builtin.

But I don’t think I’ve seen pure CRUD on anything other than prototype. Add an Identity and Access Management subsystem and the complexity of requirements will explode. Then you add integration to external services and legacy systems, and that’s where the bulk of the work is. And there’s the scalability issue that is always looming.

Creating CRUD app is barely a level over starting a new project with the IDE wizard.

For you, maybe. But for a non-progrmamer who's starting a business or just needs a website it's the difference between hiring some web dev firm and doing it themselves.

    anecdote but i've had a lot of acquaintances who started at both "hiring some web dev firm" and "doing it themselves" with results largely being the same: "help me fix this unmaintainable mess and i will pay you x"...

    jmo but i suspect llms will allow for the later to go further before the "help me" phase but i feel like that aint going away completely...
