Things I really like about django that are objectively good: * A lot of _very common_ situations and patterns are already solved for you, and they're solved in the cleanest way possible. * The documentation is excellent, both with "guides", examples, and API reference. Django (along with OpenBSD), has probably the best documentation I've seen around. * Clean design (of django itself) means that you can extend it, or avoid using bits that for some reason don't suit you. * Very transparent development, and the developers are really into open source - everything is done out in the open. This last point might not be really important as a user, but it helps if you ever want to contribute (or understand) anything to django itself. --- Even after years of django, I very occasionally still come across a functionality in django that I'd overlooked and saves be a bunch of my own code.
