I recently had to learn Django (learn? It took like an hour), due to having to change our stack at work, and I was actually quite impressed that a backend framework could integrate so many different things seamlessly and as easily as it did (especially when stacked with something that serves wsgi), historically I've done all of my backend integrations manually as that was how I was taught to do it. Still have coworkers that seem to struggle with why it's used and how to properly use it, then again these coworkers still manage to struggle with docker 5 years into using it.

Thankfully because I control the whole code base I stick to my framework of choice nearly everywhere and would be opposed to integrating any other framework, since I don't see a good reason why I shouldn't, and I think other people will actually appreciate that. But I agree with picking up newer (promising) frameworks designed to streamline the process as a rule of thumb, some people believe in vanilla framework "maturity" but I only see it as more work.

In my canvassing volunteer work our head dev is dead set on a HTML/Javascript static website (independent decision-making on their part), and to that I say have fun writing your own framework instead of learning an established one in this year of 2022.

Keep in mind I am ignorant of most of your experiences and am pretty new to web development in general.

Blazor's biggest downside is that there are no solid UI designer GUIs available for it that I know of, so it's all manual HTML/CSS. I still don't think that would deter me from using it in retrospect, but I would prefer a GUI designer to speed things up. One caveat of it being new. But it's growing fast since I started.

Question though, django uses Python, which is a lot slower than most other languages. Do you have issues with performance a lot, what kind of work does it do?
