Re "batteries included" -- Often when you know what you want to accomplish, then 80% of the time there's an obvious straightforward way to get it done in the framework. The thing that gives me some anxiety about Django (and any other opinionated framework, I suppose), is that the other 20% of the time you're not sure whether there's an esoteric but idiomatic way to do it, or you really need to implement something custom yourself.
