Is anyone curious? Which of these newly popular frameworks is simpler, which is more flexible? Do you prefer Django's "batteries-included" approach or Flask's minimalist advantage? For example, which one lets you get a project up and running faster? What's your pick and why?
Should I learn Django or Flask?

When comparing Django to Flask, the project's requirements and the learning process play a significant role in making a choice between the two. Flask, being lighter and more flexible, has an advantage in small, quick prototypes or microservice-based applications—similar to the *"just enough"* approach in the KISS method, where you can start by adding only what's necessary. Django, on the other hand, comes with a "batteries-included" approach: it provides many things out of the box, such as ORM, admin panel, session management, etc. So, when compared to React, it's like having all the tools bundled together in Angular, significantly reducing development time. Whichever side you choose, you'll essentially need to balance the complexity of your project and how much time you have at your disposal.
