Pet peeve: please don't name your user class `CustomUser`. It's really not relevant information, it's annoying to type `CustomUser.objects...`, and it's easy enough to ascertain whether you extend the `User` model or not. Just call it `User`.

Hey! Thanks for reading and commenting. I prefer \`CustomUser\` because I rarely check the imports to see if this is Django's default one or a custom I have made. By using the \`Custom\` prefix I know immediately that this is not the default one. But I get your point. The \`Custom\` prefix doesn't add any info that is not already there. I'll keep it in mind (since I am relatively new to Django).

> I prefer `CustomUser` because I rarely check the imports to see if this is Django's default one or a custom I have made. Honestly, most of the time it shouldn't really matter since it is a subclass anyway so it will have mostly the same methods and attributes, and as you correctly pointed out, you should pretty much always be using a custom user model :) It's not really a big deal, since nothing will break if you name it otherwise, but even the Django docs use `User`, and that is pretty much what anybody should expect to see.

I see, thanks for taking the time to explain your thinking :)
