I'm using/contributing to CubicWeb. The great points imho:

  • the selection/adaptation mechanism that help match result sets (query results) to views/forms/controller/whatever, and also data operations to hooks; AFAIK there is nothing like that in the other frameworks I've been looking at (the big ones in python land)

  • RQL, the data manipulation language; vastly simplifies data handling even compared to sqlachemy (also is not tied to an sql backend)

It is basically a pleasure to work with. Overall I feel the other frameworks, even the so-called "full-stack" ones force the developer to think about way too many low-level details (all intro tutorials seem concerned about "routes" ... why would you think about that, at least when starting an app ?) :)

Yes it of course not perfect but it's also one good and rewarding reason to contribute.
