i'm getting the sense that rails is just doing so much automatically for you that, without understanding, seems like magic but once you learned what/why/when/how it's really just saving you the effort of doing it all yourself. i do love flask itself but something about tacking on all the extensions to build it up to be a full-size framework feels super hacky to me...
