> I can see using Django to rapidly prototype some kind of CRUD app, but on the other hand, you could just use Wordpress for that. Flask seems like it would be a superior platform for engineering anything non-trivial, especially if you care about how it works.

I feel like I'm replying a lot in this thread!

I think it's the other way around. If you want to QUICKLY prototype something, use Flask: it's light weight, and your app will _literally_ be one hundred-line file + some templates.

If you know you're going to use much of the common Django tools, use Django. Django projects are usually harder to spin up in my experience.

I wouldn't relate Django to Wordpress at all. It'd be tough to get a Wordpress type platform from scratch in Django OR Flask.

Use cookie cutter Django and just prototype in Django. Maybe 50 more lines than flask but it was a got clone not code you wrote.
