Constructive criticism is never superfluous ;-)
Don't people think this is taking it too far?

Since when do we judge frameworks based on love/hate instead of technical merit? This is web development, not American Idol.

If you look through, that is quite connstructive messages. Above all, do not pay attention to the childrens.
Ignore the morons. They will be around you everywhere in life. They will spew their hyperbole no matter what you do. Fighting them is a losing cause, just vote against them when you can. Be it by sending ihatedjanjo.com to 127.0.0.1 on your machine or voting against them when they run for political office or not watching their tv programs etc etc etc.
I wanted to post but then I saw that captcha and it seemed like too much trouble to fill it out.
We do not have NIH syndrome, so we used the built-in framework captcha.
If these are the reasons people have for hating django then I would have to conclude that the django developers are doing great work!
Frankly, I don't know why people start stuff. If you have a problem why not hop in and solve the bugs in that framework or just switch to some other framework if you don't like it.

Such iHate stuff makes sense when you are doing it against business corporations/govt or when you are paying for goods/services. Django is free! It's opensource! It's a community project. (why not fork it, add your feature and use it if needed?)

P.S: Sorry, this comment is probably gotten long enough to be called a rant about rants.

We are interested in real cases of developers to not make the same mistakes all in our framework.
Hi, fledging.

I'm one of the creators and lead developers of Django. So I suppose you probably hate me, too. That's a shame: most people who hate me have at least met me once or twice; wish I'd had at least had a chance. Ah well.

Anyway, I've been saying for years that something like this was inevitable, so I'm not too surprised it came along. It could even become something useful: there are some very good reasons people might not want to use Django, and you could save them some time. Constructive criticism is useful, too, so done right I could really learn from a site like this.

So, if I may, I'd like to ask you to take the time and focus on this and make sure it contains useful information. Because right now, well, it doesn't: most of the comments are pointless and contain no real information.

There's even some anti-Semitic hate speech -- which is incredibly offensive, and renders any serious content untrustworthy.

Please. If you must spent your time hating, at least do it honestly.

Thanks.

Thanks for all the work you've done with Django, it makes my life much easier! I get to focus on the things I care about in my projects and work with one of my favorite languages. I appreciate the work you guys do.
That site doesn't even warrant a response from you. It's just a poor troll - don't feed it.
BTW I'm sure you and the rest of the people who work on Django don't hear this enough so... THANK YOU!

I've seen a few similar post recently griping about Django for one thing or another. I guess that's their right but Django saves me a lot of time. So thank-you I really appreciate all of the effort the Django team as put in to make the framework a pleasure to use.

What's nice about Catalyst is that it's not opinionated, so if you hate it, it's your own fault for setting it up wrong. Hence, there is no need for "I hate Django" or "I hate Rails"-like sites.
Hilarious. Thanks for sharing.
