Same here; even throwaways get built on Django. It's just so quick and easy to test something out. And if you're lucky and it does need to scale… Django can scale just fine for the vast majority of things.

It Just Works™ and the Django group is not trying to steer Django into something that it's not. Same with Flask.

Why Django over something like rails? If you going to go for batteries included go for a Tesla battery pack and not a set of double a Duracells.

I like using flask but django always felt half baked to me vs rails.

I don't know Rails. I know Django. Should I learn Rails in 2020 ? Or something else?

Rails is like Django, it's boring because it's predictable, well documented, safe and stable. All of which, for me, is a huge plus. Version 6 was released recently, it's always being updated and it's stunningly easy to use.

Yes, it's totally worth learning in 2020.

Django if you are already extremely comfortable with python would be my guess.
