"alembic" is better by leaps and bounds. it is used within a SQLAlchemy system, which is also a superior ORM than Django's.
question of taste...
I must learn Django, it's got everything I'll ever need. No, Rails will make me happy and it's better for lonely devs like me. No I must learn a Modern Web Framework (TM) to prove I'm not stuck in the past. No way, I'm not a fashionista. Have you seen that Phoenix demo where the guy builds Twitter in like 4 minutes? That's the future. Hold on a minute, enough of this magic. I need to learn to build everything in Comm…
At least if you're in a EU backwater country or in EU public sector-related projects. (Which usually means java/c# and to a much lesser extend a python tech stack).
PS: Loved the rant but you forgot to mention Golang :). "You're doing web backend and not using Go?!!"

Not to single you out, but are you or your business supporting the project (financially) in any way?
I sometimes get these almost angry emails about Gensim, my open source library. How come I'm not responding faster, merging PRs, fixing issues? For this critical popular project??! Meanwhile, sponsorships are at 13% of the (not terribly ambitious) goal of $6k/month [0]. Yeah, that's why. [0] https://github.com/sponsors/piskvorky

I genuienly have not heard about either one of the three. I guess I remain stuck in PHP, Phalcon Framework, Symfony and Django / Flask.
I was checking out Express...how do I get user logins, oh just npm in 50 other projects, adding 50000 dependencies. Back to Django then!
I find Flask is more comparable to Express.js in that regard. Need auth? You need to:
1. Install a lib for persistence
2. Set up cookie sessions, or install another lib for JWT
3. Set up auth middleware
4. Prepare login/register/forgot pass views and flows
which are almost the same steps you need to take in Express.js.

We went all in on FastAPI with my team, but we're hit the issue that the projects of Tiangolo (FastAPI, SQLModel, Typer) seem to be turning pretty much unmaintained : https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapi/discussions/3970 We've already been hit by multiple bugs with fixing PR opened, but left to rot, and missing documentation : the 'tutorial' documentation is great, but if you want a reference you have to go read the c…

The answer would then be: "because I have to keep another job to pay the bills" then? Hope you can get to your goal ASAP. Going by stupidly quick math, you have 12k stars for gesim alone, and that boils down that if every star on github payed 50 cents you'd already be there. I know that starring doesn't mean anything other than "hey, this looks interesting!", but then again 50 cents is probably cheap enough for a majority of those "stars" that they wouldn't even notice.
Also: thanks for creating and maintaining gensim!

There are just so many makes and models of automobile and people get by. I remain so confused why choice paralysis is a thing in software. Maybe the libraries need to cost 30,000$ ;-)

Nah, Django makes you sad: async support is not full, migrations engine is pretty poor, not all database features are present, any kind of typing is hacky, very slow and so on
> migrations engine is pretty poor I find this to be an odd take. The Django migrations engine is probably its strongest feature.
