Experience told me to be very conservative when picking frameworks. For small projects and personal, sure, just pick whatever you want and have fun! But for serious projects, you should stick with old and stable software.

I made the mistake of picking Flask for a really big project when these microframeworks were a fad and everyone was dismissing the big ones like Django and RoR. That was a very costly mistake. I learned the hard way provides way so many things out-of-box that I always took for granted but I had to manually implement in Flask.

Take tests for example, Django automatically makes sure that any DB operation is cleaned by the end of the test. That's sometimes that I never gave a thought until our Flask tests started leaking everywhere. The way that Django handles that problem is very clever and we had to manually do it Flask.
