The biggest reason would be that you're building a REST API and you want something tailored for that use case. If you're not building a REST API (but instead for example a web site serving HTML and whatnot), you shouldn't use Falcon at all.

This might not be clear on the Falcon framework home page though, and I will let the maintainer know it might be a good idea to clarify this point.

Cool, then Falcon is actually better off if it's suited for a more specific use-case like this.

Flask has a fantastic REST API extension (Flask-restless), so I'd go for a very targeted comparison between that and Falcon. Having more competition here can only be a good thing, I wish you the best of luck!
