Re: Django 5.0
#3Sadly I don't use Django anymore at work but it still has a special place in my heart. The ORM model is the best I've ever worked with and any other always feels clunky with sharp edges to cut you when you hold it wrong.
In recent years Django had multiple major releases, I still remember it as being in 1.x forever. Does somebody know what changed within the Django Community that they break backward compatibility more often?

They switched their versioning scheme after the 1.x.

#6What's the preferred Python Web Framework these days?
I've read a lot of love for Litestar (formerly Starlite), since it seems people prefer it over FastAPI, Flask, etc.
Or is the preferred web framework still Django?

#7Another boring release without much innovation. I wonder what's stopping Django from releasing more useful features like other frameworks are doing. Maybe the team is stuck in the past.
They've been trying to improve forms for a long time but it still sucks. I think they should just remove it at this point and let external packages solve the problem.

#8Assuming they used Django to publish this, it’s a bit sad that there’s no `generator` tag to give their own CMS a little love. :-/

Not much no, but both the GeneratedField and db_default would be useful in almost all projects I've ever implemented in Django.

I guess it depends entirely on what it is that you are building - there's no one-size-fits-all but for Python for me that is still Django.
