I'm about to start transferring a few function based views, but like you am using a mix as needed as it stands.
Re documentation, the docs on the dev stream have significantly more useful and comprehensive info for class based views. I think that there will always be a use for function based views (for instance I'm pushing out a lot of stats on one page, and they don't compute themselves) but from what I can see, most model based views should move to the cbv cheers L.
