I think you've missinterpreted the writings in the frot-page. Django cares about simplicity, and of course developers are users too. "Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design." "It lets you build high-performing, elegant Web applications quickly." "Django focuses on automating as much as possible and adhering to the DRY principle." source: http://www.djangoproject.com/ - Automation is of course essential for any development tool: http://lazaridis.com/core/product/case.html . -- http://lazaridis.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
