To that same quote: seriously? I've used Flask quite a bit, and never in a single file. Look up a decent (non-toy) tutorial, and they won't either.

I _think_ it's trying to offer something a bit more Rails-like. If that's its objective, it should say that, and not start with such a strawman.

CakePHP does the same routing by naming convention, and I can't stand it. Forcing you to name your functions based on the url is horribly inflexible and has bit me in the ass before. There are sloppy ways around it such as modifying .htaccess, but it leads to an inconsistent codebase where either only some routes are done the way the framework intends, or all routes are done an entirely different way.

I've been instructed to add endpoints with a specific URL, but the corresponding naming requirements for routing was already taken by another method that was heavily used throughout the application. So either tell marketing that won't work because of technical reasons (which doesn't go over so well), or re-name a bunch of perfectly good code because the framework is inflexible.
