Could not agree with your statement enough, just like Django really is a heavy burden for python when you could use flask etc... for most things.

- mastazi 10y agoYes, Django is in some ways similar to Rails but, at least, in Django I know how to exclude some parts of the framework (e.g. if I don't want to use Django forms, I'll just go on and use vanilla HTML forms, if I need raw SQL, I'll go for that rather than Django queries). I suspect that the same kind of thing is, at least to a certain degree, possible in Rails as well, however it seems harder to achieve because in Rails the components that make up the framework seem very tightly coupled. Obviously the opinion that I have formed may be distorted by the fact that I know Django/Python quite well, whereas I know little about Rails/Ruby. EDIT: obviously I agree with you that, if you want more freedom and if you are not using many of the features that Django offers, then it would make more sense to use something light-weight like Flask, which is a very nice framework.
