I would agree with with the author in gnenral. Django is very powerful, but it can be painful, simply for the mental capacity required to get up and running with it. Sure after you spend a few (at least) hours wrapping your head around everything it becomes pretty easy to use...but still a high barrier to entry. This is part of the reason I'm becoming more and more of a fan of web.py and peewee (https://github.com/coleifer/peewee https://github.com/coleifer/peewee). They are simple but still powerful enough for the majority of use cases.
