Generic views helps to avoid writting some part of the trivial code. For example : you are writing a shop with goods and a lot of the pages contains list of the items. You should about sorting orders, page selecting etc. If you are using generic views then you might not spend time at this. Also if you are novice then you might avoid bugs in your code. (less code , less bugs). Disadvantages of this is next : django is moving from function based generic view to class based. Unfortunately class based does not have a lot documentation at this moment.
