I agree. Maybe a was bit unclear. I think the nice thing about micro frameworks like Flask is that you can build your own Django. Or your own whatever it is you need.

But you need to spent at least once quite significant time following mega-tutorials, thinking about how to structure your application, what libraries to use for x, how to integrate them etc.

If you do that, it's great. But what I have seen in practice in various large flask app developed over years is, that in the very beginning people just jump in hacking away because it is so simple, just an app.py and a requirements.txt. Then over time they slap on the same thing Django has, but in a much less robust, hard to maintainable way. I'm guilty of the same, often simply not having time due to reality to really think things trough (the mega tutorial and similar didn't exist when I last started a Flask app).
