I've felt a similar pull away from django on a number of apps. Just looking through the Channel docs [0] however, many of the reasons I get frustrated with Django (primarily the lack of a solid websocket/SSE story) are being addressed. Frankly, I'm addicted to Django's built in auth & admin UI, and I'm thrilled I won't have to bolt on a kludged solution if I want to get some realtime behavior. My frankenstein chat system of Node & Django can be put out of its misery... someday.
