+1. 

Rich admin functionality is the thing that my custom plugins for clients lack the most and hence why I've not (yet) released the ones with generic functionality to the community. If rich admin functionality were easier, especially parent-child record editing functionality, I'd go a long way to making it easier for me to release my work for others to use.
