Flask is so minimal. Curious what were the disadvantages that weighed against chosing Flask.

Flask is too minimal. Using DRF is like having code written for you. Because, you know, the code was written (and battle-tested) for you. Why start from a log every time when you can get a wheel for free?

DRF includes all the serialization and loose object structure for you to build off of.

We've been using DRF pretty seriously for over a year and have yet to find a feature that we want that isn't already implemented or easy to implement on top of it.
