For such a powerful framework(that is very scalable) the initial process to get a basic working app is actually quite simple. The templating language makes it really easy to create completely custom templates, with very nice straightforward language, you can simply wrap functions in curly braces, great!!

My main issue with django is the challenges of using it within Windows OS, I had barely any problems within Ubuntu, and I have heard it is fine on Mac OSX. So for most people there is other options and i'm sure its not down to django but instead the windows architecture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love Django admin, model synchronization from/to database (migration & syncdb).
The searchable & sortable list with filtering functions, grouped form, you can get any of these function by a line of configuration!
By Django Rest framework I can easily expose rest interface for my database.
ChoiceField and ForeignKey is fancy, foreign key is turned into related object selection feature in a form.
Flexible permission control on each page, button, and even data.
The inline feature save me lots of effort.
The django smart selects provide fancy function for chained & grouped selection feature on a form. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is difficult to add button to the list page and form page.
It doesn't provide built in import/export feature.
The password is changed automatically without any log when a user's password in encrypted in an algorithm different than configured. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
My most favorable feature of Django was the ability to create models in such an efficient manner. Unlike other frameworks such as PHP, Django allows for the quick creation of models which automatically takes care of table creation and field validation when passing user input from the front end.

I disliked the location of Django's administrative static files. While it's great for development, when it's time for production, transferring the static files over to another directory can often be somewhat cumbersome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I used django before because I heard a lot about it from friends, so I decided to give it a chance, I started learning it, little bit rough at first but when you begin to understand it everything change, you're able to code in four lines of code what you do in 15 with another languajes or frameworks. The way you work templates and routes with django is just amazing, I remember the first I try to do something I was surprised for it, because it's really scalable.

There is not much things to dislike about it but I think one of the less cool things of django is that it can't be easily installed on any platform for example a shared hosting, most of it requires permission and allow python to use, so it's a little annoying for that matter.

Its flexibility, quick and hassle free setup, easy integration of databses etc. Fast deployment of app, and since it is in python, It gives us amazing power at hand. Its scalability, security, and it being and open source project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some support are missing in google app engine like we can't use entire ORM, urllib library, and file system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like how easy it is to get started with Django, while with other Frameworks I end up losing an entire day just to configure everything, with Django it seems like everything is already ready to let you do your real work. I also like the focus the guy had on security (which is taken very seriously) and it's very easy to write your code since most of the time all the boilerplate code is already wrote by someone else. The built-in admin is a big plus and other frameworks built upon Django (like Rest Framework) and the well written documentation make working with it a very pleasant experience.

Some small things could be added in Django itself instead of requiring external libraries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easy configuration of the Django with all the platforms such as Linux windows and mac 0s makes it more popular and Admin App makes the Django more powerful and makes the building of web app simpler.There are lots of packages available in Django which the Building App much Faster.The Rest Framework also helps in building high grade Mobile apps faster Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The Things i dislike in django are very few which i think they will correct in the future That is i cant use the template tags in static files If i can use that functionality it will make the Django Much more Powerfull. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The language sits on top of Python. It makes for a great experience when building applications quickly and succinctly. The batteries included can really help you find a 3rd party library to incorporate instead of building everything yourself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The Django community on Github can do a better job of being more active. In all honesty it can use more corporate support to keep certain libraries alive. Most active development live in many smaller business. Therefore any contributions come at any spare time people can contribute a given library. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's simple and has a lot of features built in. It can power a huge site easily. You can get things working in just a few minutes.
The template engine system is one of the best I've used. I've used C# MVC and PHP, and to me, Django is more simple than C# and PHP.
It's easy to find integrations with 3rd part apps/services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's a big framework, it takes a lot of time to learn everything about it, and sometimes it can be too much work for small projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
