I've been using Django on and off at work for the past few years. I really like it. That being said, I still find its ORM difficult. I understand it now that since it's an opinionated framework, I need to follow Django way of thinking. The main issue is that at work, I have multiple databases from different business units. So I constantly have to figure out a way to deal with multiple databases and their idiosyncrasies. I ended up doing a lot of hand holding by turning off managed, inspectdb and then manually delete tables I don't want to show via website or other reasons. For green webapps we have, django is as good as it gets.

I've used Aldjemy (https://github.com/aldjemy/aldjemy) on a small project and it worked pretty well for allowing me to compose the fairly complex queries needed that the Django ORM couldn't do.
