>> "...a solid, stable, secure and powerful web application framework..."

I think this quote sums up Django very well. I would guess that a large chunk of externally facing and internally facing web apps use django (e.g., apps at Mozilla [0]). Anyone have a link to numbers? It would be neat to quantify the prevalence of frameworks on the net. Someone must have done this already.

After PyCon last year I asked myself a similar question, except I was more interested in language traction than frameworks; still you may find some of the links interesting.

669 stacks on stackshare http://stackshare.io/django

and for comparison:

2.2k rails http://stackshare.io/rails 2.34k node.js http://stackshare.io/nodejs

Thanks for the data. I guess rails and node are "hotter," but I'm still not convinced because it appears that stackshare relies on self report (which we all know is pretty fallible). Further, selection bias could be at play in these data. For example, individuals more likely to report their stack on stackshare might be the same individuals more likely to use rails or node. Still, at least we've got some numbers.

Well, .NET is under 600, and Meteor is over 1k, which I find dubious.

Django isn't as fashionable as Rails was in its day or Node is now. I'd guess a lot more people are using it then are talking about how they use it.

what's stack share and how does it compute the numbers?

also rails has a much bigger adoption in ruby community and node in javascript community than django in the python community (I would guess).

lots of people using flask, tornado or other frameworks now a days
