I've found this to be the case whenever I see a Flask or Bottle project
that does anything
more than expose a data API. I think Flask is great for building small
applications or
microservices. Any more and you are essentially hacking together a bunch of
packages
that may or may not have been designed to work together.

I find that Django can suit almost any use case perfectly well. You can use
whatever part
of the framework you want and toss out/replace any part you don't want.
Plus, built in sessions
and authentication are fantastic time savers.
