Falcon gives you less than Flask, not more.

For me the big thing is that Falcon has none of the stuff needed for building web apps. Flask has all that stuff cause it was built when back end servers also built the HTML pages. There's alot of stuff associated with that functionality in Flask that is not there in Falcon. It makes it much cleaner.
