Why would anyone consider it obsolete to begin with ?

If anything, I would consider someone making that statement miss informed

In the current web dev world, "not the hip new paradigm of the past 3 years" == obsolete in some people's eyes, sadly.

I would consider that person to be obsolete :D

There are not currently many well-known products that use it. (Bitbucket cloud being the exception.)

That's not the best of reasons; just because Django is not used by Google doesn't mean it isn't the perfect tool for you.

Instagram uses it. I'd say they're pretty well-known.

Others: DigitalOcean, Pinterest (used Django at first, may have moved to Flask by now, not sure), Mozilla, Disqus, Robinhood, The Washington Post.

IIRC, I had read that Disqus uses Django, and that they were one of the biggest Django sites on the net, but that was a while earlier. Not sure about now.

Update: Just saw that HN user txcwpalpha said the same about Disqus in sibling comment.

Pinterest uses Django.

Doesn't Instagram count as a well-known product? :)

Last time I checked, last.fm uses Django.
