Django Admin: Why is it 'ugly'?

The Django admin interface is not meant to be pretty; it is designed for internal management and as a developer tool, not a front-end for end users. The focus is on functionality and ease of use for developers rather than aesthetics. The admin is intentionally kept simple and utilitarian, as it is primarily intended for managing the database and not for user-facing interfaces. Customizing the admin interface can be time-consuming, so it is recommended to build separate user interfaces for end users.
