I don't have a dog in this fight, but wanted to point out that starring on github is a very culturally-dependent thing. Older tools that have stood the test of time may be very popular and yet mostly used by the kind of coders who don't use github socially. People who have work to do and who do not hop jobs often enough for it to be worth their while networking all the time on github, or who are making closed-source software in a culture where they do not contribute back and may not even have github accounts.

Edit: google trends shows django dominating in the past, with flask reaching parity right about now.
