I think that links to 3rd party pages with grids, comparisons, pros'n'cons, scattered all over Django's documentation aren't too helpful. I'd probably prefer a separate page in the docs that links to those 3rd party pages. The general problem with those sites though, they are not audited for their accuracy or correctness, less for being up to date.
