I picked up Django early 2015 and it has been my choice of backend ever since. Though I haven't used Django to build a fullstack application, I have used Django REST framework extensively for my backend. Impressions over 1.92 years:
1) Great documentation. Well organized, well written. Good balance between theory and examples.
2) Superb ecosystem. Coming from PHP land, I got the sense of a "anything-goes" mentality. On SO, people who help are very much interested in doing things the idiomatic way.
3) You get to practice Python!

- collyw 10y agoAgreed. I moved to Python form Perl 5 years ago because of Python. I feel I never know Python as well as I knew Perl, but I do know Django really well. But then the built in functionality means I rarely need to go too low level with my code.
