This exactly. Sometimes I feel like an old fart still using Django (or Flask if the project is small) instead of some new hotness. But Django has the DSF behind it moving point releases, bugfixes and major releases in a very sane way. The same absolutely cannot be said for angular (major rewrite in progress!) or a lot of similar projects in the Node.js community. None of this means Node.js is bad, just that there is something to be said for consistency in development. Now watch as Python/Django devs slowly morph into what Delphi devs used to be ;)

You shouldn't feel like an "old fart" using Django or Flask. I think both are awesome, relevant, and will stick around into the future. One of the great things about being a programmer is that we know how to program in general. If we have to adopt a new syntax or learn the intricacies of some new methods that's ok, and not nearly equal to the amount of effort we expended to learn how to write code in the beginning. Keep writing your Django apps. I agree that it's great that DSF is backing a stable and productive framework like Django.

  I was working the last year on a Django app. First I hated it, but slowly I started enjoying programming with it. This year I worked mantaining an app with all of this http://teropa.info/blog/2015/09/10/full-stack-redux-tutorial.html http://teropa.info/blog/2015/09/10/full-stack-redux-tutorial... This supposed to be a simple Web app but, it's a complete mess. I miss Django so much right now.
