Why not to extend User in Django REST
This is not a question about Django REST, but about Django itself. 
The problem with extending the User object directly is that it is already a concrete model, so extending it will use multi-table inheritance. That's not usually a good idea - especially if you're further extending it.
AbstractUser is an abstract model, but (unlike AbatractBaseUser) contains all the fields that User defines. You should use that.
I am using Django REST to create users for my app.
Everywhere i look at, for users they extend AbstractBaseUser. 
I tried extending the User model, and it seems to work just fine.
I have an PersonalAbstractUser that extends the Django User. Then, Worker and Client extends PersonalAbstractUser.
Login and custom permissions seem to work just fine up until now, but i am getting concerned when i see that no one else is extending User...
Why is that? Did i miss something?
