[Beltiras]

I wrote a CMS for a large newspaper where I deployed new code on almost a daily basis using Django(uWSGI)-redis-PostgreSQL-Celery. 4 developers were active at the time. Requirements were not set in stone, we tested tons of stuff out and iterated every aspect of the site both on the development and operations side. Django was never the problem during those 18 months.

Django is like any other framework/language. Bad programmers can make a hash of it with ill-conceived ideas.
