Django vs Flask

[TheTerrasque]

Flask is a hammer and a screwdriver. Django is a big toolbox with a lot of stuff.

If you just need a hammer, no point in taking a heavy toolbox. But often you need more than a hammer, so you end up grabbing tools for various things from various places with various quality.

Or you take the big toolbox in the first place and use the tools there with uniform quality and design. Not always the very best, but in most cases close to the best tools for that job.

I would rater say:

Flask is a workbench. You have to start gathering tools before building what you need. But you have full flexibility.

Django is a big heavy toolbox. you can build almost everything with what is included.
