Let's see

- CRSF protection
- keeping things DRY
- templating (or you could use many others)
- user management
- administrative interface
- database creation/introspection
- i18n
- an ecosystem of pluggable add-on apps
- URL routing
- view decorators
- easily swappable back-ends
- active development across multiple lines of business
- GIS support
- abstracted ORM (or you could use SQLObject or its kin) to allow
you mobility between DB back-ends should you want to

That's just my off-the-top-of-my-head list of things that you'd have
to come up with that Django happens to give you out-of-the-box.
