Agreed that design patterns and just thoughtful design in general can help create frameworks that are easy to get up and running. I guess what I was getting at is that a non-coder could probably stay completely in the browser, maybe even completely on the bubble.is site (bouncing back and forth between the docs and the editor) and have a clear path to launching an app that they can feel comfortable knowing is secure and will probably perform well enough. With Python and Django, they'd have to cobble more things together and the risk that they end up going down some rabbit hole that doesn't quite have to do with their initial goal is greater.

> stay completely in the browser [focusing on] ...their initial goal

I believe this is worthwhile long range target that we can build up to on solid foundation, such as component oriented software. As the pieces come together, the harder fought wins that use and prove its foundation early on will pay off greater, later.
