And it isn't! I started using Django in the days when it was in perpetual Beta - back in 2008. It was not ugly by the standards of those days.
After over a decade's hiatus, I'm back to using Django for paid work. And I still find it "not ugly". Sure, it doesn't have bells and whistles, but it's pretty functional, and doesn't offend my aesthetics at all!
PS. I owe a lot to you, Jacob and Simon - thanks for Django! My funding in grad school was drying up, and I needed a side job out of my department to help pay bills. And fortunately, one team at the university was looking for a Django programmer. I was not a CS major, but knew enough programming to get that job.
