I inherited a system using an unholy combination of Django and Angular, and the data structures are only a tiny bit complex: it's not a simple tree, but some records can have multiple parents. I had to add one checkbox on one modal dialog which mainly affects an accounting procedure. It had to be added in the model, in the serializer, in the three places where a new serializer is instantiated, in two or perhaps three places in the Angular controller, and finally one line in the angular html. In some places you add the field, in others you add the field name to a list. Because "batteries" means in this case: Django heavily abuses Python's dynamic nature. It's opaque, and above all unnecessary. Django is a relic from the time when a POST form was the height of user interaction. That started fading out early 2000s. It's slow, and consumes a lot of memory. I hate it.
