You're comparing apples and oranges, djanjo is a web framework, for creating websites, .Net core is a cross platform compiler and the standard library that goes with the C# programming language, which includes some stuff for creating websites (along with desktop, CLI, services etc). Django might work best for you but I want to create a bunch of micro services I'm not going to use it, am I? Not to mention Django works well as a general purpose solution for general purpose websites, If you're building anysort of heavyweight, enterprises level web architecture you're going to want a hell of a lot more control that what django provides for you.

I specifically said python, flask and Django, the guy I was replying to then asked for an example, where I used only Django, and now you’re using that against me?

Obviously we don’t use Django for everything. But like with web-applications, a python script or a flask application is always more productive for us than .NET.

I don't disagree that django and flask are good general purpose web app frameworks, but theres a mile gap between "Not the best for general purpose web apps" and "not good for anything", which is why I highlighted the following question
