I agree with his complaints about reusable apps to an extent, but I feel a lot of the fault has to do with the design of the apps he referred to. I feel that the good apps are the ones that focus on a very narrow scope and try a singular problem (Paypal integration, Twitter integration, etc). Pinax tries to shove every social media idea at you. Other ones like Satchmo (shopping cart) even have their own templates and styles, sorta like a CRM where you're kinda meant to use the Admin to manage your shop. I think you can get decent flexibility with Django as long as you choose simple apps. I've always liked the Django debugging information and haven't had too many problems. I agree that it's very possible for many to feel limited by the ORM and standard templating system. |

For me Django 1.2 is smoothing both of those over. The raw_sql method lets you construct your own select statements and turns the results into python objects. Also the if tag is much better. If template tag creation got cleaned up, I would have almost no problems at all with the template system.
