Nobody will trust that you are webscale™ until you can show some concrete evidence of it :-) Seeing that there are successful and large websites built with Django certainly isn't enough to convince someone but it isn't just a plus either. It is rather the *bare minimum* one needs to be reassured that they're not wasting their time learning this new framework. > Engineers and people that take decisions in general want to know if it gets > things done, but also how does it compare to other solutions. > Comparing on features would be more engineer-minded that «How do you feel > about Django».

Comparisons can really only be trusted from people who have extended experience in all the compared frameworks and who do not appear biased towards one or another. One should always be cautious with websites/frameworks/products/whatever boasting that they are so much more awesome than the others :-) Julien -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
