One nice thing about views is that you can experiment -- create a view visible only to admins, and try out the settings. A lot of modules play nice with views now, so you have a lot of power creating custom pages. I think it's one of the great things about the 5.2 paradigm.
Views in 4.7 is nice, too, but since CCK works on a different footing there, it is perhaps less intuitive.
Thank you SO much to everyone who wrote about this. I am looking into how to use CCK now.
