It feels surreal that every time a Django topic comes up on this site it's flooded with people praising it and proclaiming how much they love it.

I honestly found it to be the absolute worst Python framework I've ever worked with. I found it so hard to intuitively write code for it because it just does stuff for you in the background and you can't always see the execution order of code, especially when leveraging that default dashboard feature. I lasted 11 months in a role that used Django exclusively. I'm happy for people that built a career with it, but it just blows my mind people aren't more critical of it. Not that they necessarily need to be though.

It’s a little clunky in places, but it’s fantastic at having a solution ready for almost any problem.

The one thing that still bugs me is that you have to wire everything together manually. But other than that, much better than most.
