>- It doesn't play nicely with a lot of the rest of the python ecosystem. Want to swap in SQLAlchemy? Sorry, no dice.

Being extremely opinionated about stuff like ORM and admin is partly how it developed such a rich ecosystem of plugins. Those plugins exist because they can build upon those foundations.

Flask, by dint of being unopinionated doesn't have solid foundations that its plugins can build upon. This is why you get stuff like quokka (a flask cms plugin built on mongo) while other stuff assumes sqlalchemy and other plugins built plugins for various different storage backends.

I think you could probably abstract away some of the differences between djangoORM and SQLalchemy. Maybe something like a model class that uses sqlchemy for the underlying orm interactions. Not that i really blame them for using their limited dev resources elsewhere.
