Flask has a bigger dev team, but Bottle is a nicer, more elegant micro-framework. From what I can see, the design of Flask can be broken down into 2 phases. The first phase is essentially like bottle. The second phase added class views

i guess this sensational title is aimed to draw an audience? There's nothing new here than what Edwards Tufte discovered long ago. The tools are not broken. In fact they are getting increasingly better. Of course, if you don't know how to
