Cue the "web2py is non-pythonic" crowd. FWIW, I liked web2py when I first saw it, then I stopped liking it and moved on to Django, Flask, Rails, Sinatra. There is nothing to be gained from bashing somebody's hard work which isn't harming you in any way, and is probably benefiting a lot of people. Don't like it? Don't use it. Want to know how it compares to Django/Rails? Do a google search. It has been done sufficient number of times. The reddit thread with Flask's and Django's creator is the most popular I believe.

When someone says "unpythonic", I always think that they ran out of sensible arguments and started to bitch about the program. When I say "program", I'm not particularly addressing web2py (I have never used it).

  There are lots of people that agree with you: http://www.plope.com/Members/chrism/pythonic http://www.plope.com/Members/chrism/pythonic I preferred what Ian Bicking wrote in response: http://blog.ianbicking.org/unzen-of-unpython.html http://blog.ianbicking.org/unzen-of-unpython.html One thing I like about the Django community is that part of Djangocon specifically features critics who are invited to criticize Django or some aspect of it, for example: "Why Django Sucks and how we can fix it" http://blip.tv/djangocon/why-django-sucks-and-how-we-can-fix-it-4131303 http://blip.tv/djangocon/why-django-sucks-and-how-we-can-fix...

That's much better and productive than circling the wagons and letting personal insults fly.

  If it's the one I think it is: http://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/ex54j/seeking_clarification_on_pylonsturbogearspyramid/c1bo1v5 http://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/ex54j/seeking_clarif... You probably won't find it looking for web2py. That was originally a discussion about Pylons/Pyramid that went off into the woods after someone asked "Are web2py and Pylons/Pyramid syntactically and functionally similar?"
