The reason I keep sticking with it is the "optional batteries included" approach. User auth, for example, is something that just works out of the box with the admin/ORM, and has a lot of basic security necessities addressed. In a more a la carte framework, such as Flask, there are packages to help with user auth, but you have to do a lot more work to get them working with whatever ORM you choose. This means I can spend my time making products instead of wrangling packages together.
