I'd also like to add that Pyramid's level of abstraction (measured in brick size, if you will) is just right for many projects, making it easy to be productive and flexible at the same time. Those of us that are using Pyramid successfully went through a learning curve to be sure, but I haven't known the community to feel bogged down writing glue code at the outset of each project or wishing there was one more higher-level library to bind them all.
If your mental model of a website can be fully accommodated by the features in other frameworks, there's always the argument that they would be a better starting place than Pyramid. In my case, I've needed to rethink the notion of "web app" more than once, and Pyramid has been there consistently and successfully as my foundation.
