I keep thinking I'll learn Django, but I hate Django, why would I want to build a skill that I'm then forced to use, as well as proliferating the market for Django products?

I work on Flask stuff on purpose, because it means in the future I'll have more Flask work...

Flask is much more pythonic than django.

In fact, go look at Django's website/documentation, they don't have a hello world or a quickstart, they have like a 10-page tutorial to build some frankenstein nonsense, Flask's homepage has a 5 line application! That's how Python is supposed to be.

The more flask in the world, the better.

edit: now I've read some other people here saying Django gets easier after you use it, or it's gotten simpler... Flask is easy the first time you use it, and it's always been simple. Pythonic. End rant.

You could write Hello World the same way in Django with nothing more than one route and one view. However, the Django tutorial is longer, I think 6 pages, because it provides so much more out of the box. The Flask tutorial would be the same length if it covered topics like a variety of views, templates, serialization, SQLAlchemy, migrations, model design, etc.

Flask actually has a tutorial just like this in the docs [1].

I think you should give Django a chance to be able to compare the two frameworks in these kinds of aspects.
