    3333 * Custom form views become very simple, and intuitive.
    3434 * Validation aware models are harnessed in this system.
    35  * Custom Manipulators could be defined in the model itself, which hightens the sense of everything in one place.  Likewise, it can be seperated out if it's too much code in one spot.

    3636 * Defining Custom Manipulators allows one greater control of how the Admin deals with objects.  Having a field automatically update with the author's User object would be a snap.  Also, some options could move from the {{{class Admin:}}} into the Custom Manipulator, which would tighten things up a great deal.
    3737 * Making your own Admin app now becomes a lot easier.  People often want to be able to simply plop a form down, and this gives them that ability.
