This reminds me of when ROR came out and "opinionated frameworks" were the new black. I can kind of see where parent is coming from - lightweight frameworks are lightweight because they rely on external components (eg, ORM, form-handling libraries...) which are so many moving parts, and not always well integrated with the framework. On the other hand, I've found that the Flask plugin ecosystem works pretty well as very lightweight glue with other components.
And let's face it: even with a "batteries included" framework, you'll eventually have to go out and get a third-party battery which was not included.
