I don't know if Plain has a chance to succeed but I understand why it is a fork. Django leadership haven't been able to move Django forward outside of its old paradigms and every attempt, be it a fork or third-party app, counts.

Can you elaborate on this? What paradigms do you think are outdated?

Generally speaking, I think Django has lagged a bit behind other frameworks. However, the continued advantage of being Python driven has left it useful in my book when working with Python data utilities in the back end. What’s your perspective here?

Not the previous poster, but my biggest gripe with Django is all the silent failures. It was a bad idea 20 years ago, it's a bad idea now, it's just a very very bad idea.
