We need a dead simple, but secure, admin plugin for Rails. We're on 2.x but are considering a port to 3.x.

Which admin plugin do you use, and why? What are the pros and cons of others? There are a few admin plugins available, and we would like to draw on the experience of others before choosing one.

And by admin plugin, I mean a plugin to help us manage the data and users of the application.

Thanks!

Many (me included) prefer not to use a gem for authentication because it is too high a feature for an app; it is sometimes better to code your own for your suited use case.

Now you could go and use devise, authlogic etc., but to me authentication is so important, and if I don't fully understand what is going behind these gems I tend to stay away (depending on the app I am building).
