There was a moment many friends of mine started building their apps on Flask. They loved the freedom it afforded them.

Every app of this series has grown into something that user more or less the full Django feature set. All of those friends of mine ended um having to build their own Django, piece by piece.

There is a valuable lesson here: chances are your app will grow to need a full framework. Unless you can build a better framework, you should stick to one that covers the most common use cases.
