Django is the nicest framework I've come across! For some context, my favorite overall programming language is Rust. Despite Rust having several web frameworks, I use Python the server due to Django being so nice.

In Python, there are micro frameworks like Flask, and whatever new ones claim to be "Blazingly fast!", async etc. Once you get over the learning curve, Django seems the nicest to use, due to including features like an auto-updating ORM, email, authentication, admin page etc. None of the Rust frameworks, in contrast, come close to feature parity.

Django's feature base is vast, and I admit I don't understand much of it. You can choose the feature sets you need. The template language is inflexible, but you can smooth this over using JS instead A/R.

You can also replace the template system with something else like jinja2.
