Probably whoever made it just preferred Flask.
django-rest-framework is nice because it's maintained well and it's consistent with the rest of Django, but plenty of people just prefer the Flask way of doing things, even if it's a scrappier set of tools in some ways.
- swah 7y agoI'm using DRF in a project and don't really like the code/magic I end up with. IIRC I was happier with Flask and SQL... (But of course, for the bits that maps properly into its model, DRF its awesome)
- bouncing 7y agoYeah. You can always get into what you do/don't like about a framework, but the same can be said of Flask. FWIW, I don't like DRF's reliance on serializers that do more than serialization.
