It's not so easy to explain why startproject can't just create the directory to contain all the bits it creates in the first place, instead of making me do it manually :-) I really do think dumping non-namespaced bits in the current directory is a serious usability problem for a utility like startproject, even if we tried to implement some kind of "manage.py overwriting protection". It's also a much more significant departure from how you use startproject currently. And if the only justification is "well, it makes it very slightly easier for the tutorial to explain which directory you should be in to do certain things" - I just don't see that as a good tradeoff, at all. I think the current tutorial wording in the patch is plenty clear, if slightly awkward.
