You are probably looking for more detail than "It's a nice framework" :-)

The database model in Django is powerful; it allows you to do queries in
native Python code without delving into backend SQL stuff.

I don't know how scalable/performant the database model is, as the one
project I worked on didn't deal with a ton of data.  (But I'd be surprised
if it had poor performance.)

The URL dispatcher provides a very nice and logical way to associate a
given URL with a given method call.

Community support is excellent.
