In my opinion, it shouldn't matter what type of web app you are creating, Django is a framework that can be used to develop any kind of app you can imagine. That being said, Django was designed for a particular use and has been tailored for that use, deviating significantly from that type of use may mean not being able to effectively use some features, i.e. admin. I am writing a web app that allows organizations to manage their IT Governance, Risk Management, and Compliancy initiatives, much of what Django provides lends itself well to efficient development of this app (the ORM, the template system, Model Forms etc...) however, admin is (at least pre nf-admin) not real conducive to an app where by design there really aren't 'trusted' users. So I built my own administrative interface through custom views. I looked at php, (though I am not a PHP programmer) and I looked at other python web frameworks (TG and pylons) and decided that while I probably would never use the built-in Admin interface for much, if anything, in production, Django provided the best framework for my app. hth, -richard
