I'm a django expert and I've built dozen of projects with it. So it would be hypocrite of me to tell you not to learn it. On the other hand, when I first started learning it, it was a young framework not well known (PHP was still hot.. Rails and Django developers were the hipsters of the web on the edge of technology ;-)

I'm pretty happy about my choice to be on the edge as when it got mainstream, I was already very proficient with it. So, in that sense, I think I'd still suggest you to pick a more edgy framework.. say Node with Angular (or ember).

I understand the point you are making. The only problem with picking up a relatively less mature/complete framework is that I intend to use it in production. Since I am starting up as a novice, I cannot afford to sacrifice maturity for the high of being on the edge. I realize there's benefit for me in being on the edge as you mentioned( and I would love to play with the newest toy), but in my case, I unfortunately can't do that. Thanks for stopping by! :-)

Btw, node.js / angular is production ready. There are others edgy framework or languages that I wouldn't recommend for the exact reasons you are saying.
