That's how I feel about Django at this point. A quick glance at reddit reveals how out of hand it's getting; the answer to every web programming question is "Django!" regardless of whether it's relevant or not. And every popular comment or blog post by Django developers discussing Rails contains a bunch of inaccuracies. At least with Rails there's enough of a push back that even the the annoying minority is better behaved, and Rails development these days is more wycats/merb than anything else. I've always liked Django, but in recent months I've been totally turned off of it, but these days it's tough to develop web apps with python and avoid django.


Hmmmm. Is it 'really hard' to develop web apps with python and avoid django? No. It isn't.


Well... You can use Zope and Plone. I have done so for a very long time (in fact, I started using Python because of Zope).

Zope 3.x (Plone runs on top of Zope 2.x) is a very nice application server. I wonder if it would be possible to make it work seamlessly with things like Hadoop instead of ZODB.
