NextJS instead of templates. Full-featured admin area. I'd say Payload is more akin to Wagtail than Django itself. It feels ridiculously modern compared to other CMSes I've touched, Wagtail included. Payload doesn't prescribe i18n like Django.
When you need to, you can step down into NextJS and write custom endpoints and the like.

I don't think you were necessarily implying otherwise but one of the Django mantras is "It's just Python" - i.e. you can bypass (nearly) everything Django provides and drop down to doing whatever you want with http requests.
- marpstar 2y ago"Prescribe" perhaps wasn't the right word. "Bundle" is probably better. Payload has no official i18n package/module/plugin/whatever. Re: the NextJS custom endpoint thing -- you're right in that I wasn't comparing to Django but referring to my parent comment about Ghost, which I'd say doesn't really "support" custom endpoints even if it's "possible" -- plus the .yaml routing config is kind of a drag.
