> real time chat component, twilio integration, newsletter emails, periodic 3rd party data imports, print-to-pdf, etc). All of these things are pretty easy to do with Rails and Laravel. I don't see how Flask or express or the home made framework on top of those could make anything of this easier. Other than writing the code yourself and not needing to read documentation (which will be a problem for future maintainers) I don't see any advantage for anyone except the one writing it for the fun of it.
