Yes, the first time I used it I had the same criticism, but I quickly found that the regex url mapping gave me extremely easy ways to create logical filesystem structures that made sense for my application. Django is very easy to use, and I even really like the template syntax (especially the 'extends' directive - very cool. That having been said, one of the first things we did on our last django project was replace the template engine with Genshi). The main things I found lacking were: * it is a little too dependent on its ORM - you have to go out of your way to break out of the database model, especially on the admin side. This makes sense for your everyday content-based kinds of sites, not so much when you are integrating with external systems. * it lacks the 'component' idea that symfony has -- ie. each controller (uhh... i mean.. _view_) normally has to contain all the logic for an entire page, and there's no obvious way to split the page up into reusable functional elements. Anyway, those points aside, Django is great, and I'm sure I'll be using it again when the right project comes along. bo. > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > On Behalf Of Nicolas Perriault > Sent: 04 February 2008 16:04 > To: [email protected] > Subject: [symfony-users] Re: Django > > On Feb 4, 2008 4:34 PM, Thierry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> Would like to hear some of the opinions. >> I'm considering giving it a spin... > > I've played with it a bit, it looks very nice and efficient.
