I took the point of the article to be that Django is making no effort to enter the now fairly idiomatic world of static type checking in Python? I guess we could reasonably debate about the meaning of "nice-to-have", but for some people including me, I would find working with a framework that thwarted my efforts to statically type my code to be more than just "not nice" - I would actively avoid it. Which, again, I believe gets at the heart of the article. There are plenty of folks who will choose not to use Django precisely because it seems not to be evolving alongside the language.
