title: Django - Generic Views - Object_list - What's the benefit?
body: <p>I want to use the <a href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/ref/generic-views/#django-views-generic-list-detail-object-list" rel="nofollow">object_list generic view</a>.  But I can't tell what benefit it gives me besides pagination?  It seems like I still need to write my own template?</p>
  
  <p>How is this faster than writing my own view? Am I missing something?  </p>
  
  <p>If it is worth using and I do have to write my own template, what is supposed to be in the template?  I can't find any examples.</p>
