Django admin also has various ways of filtering, search, navigation including menu's, pagination, permissions, custom actions and change tracking out of the box. Most importantly, it also includes ways to easily deal with relations (inline admins).
Last time I programmed with rails was many years ago, but none of these things are included in the default scaffolds right?
I understand the comparison with scaffolding, but I don't think they really overlap too much. You'd typically throw away a lot of the generated scaffolds from rails for a production app. They are more of a tool to avoid having to manually write boilerplate code, increasing productivity and (maybe) reducing errors. But django admin interface is meant for production, though often more as a backend tool than a customer facing interface. Different purposed. I miss the scaffolding in django and the admin interface in rails.
