I like to paraphrase Greenspun's Tenth Law in this context:

"Any sufficiently complicated Flask app contains an ad-hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Django"

I love the paraphrased quote. It’s a bit ironic in that Python programmers love the batteries included standard library but quickly jettison that idea when it comes to Django vs Flask.

Flask’s marketing of a simple route decorator makes it seem light weight but once you add everything else it becomes Django.
