This scaling up vs down idea is an important one.

Thats snide... and probably accurate ;-)
Among my more unpleasant programming experiences was Ruby-on-Rails
And my impression is that Ruby is fine; Rails not
Django I dont know and my impression is its a shade better than Rails

It would be nice to discover the bottle inside the flask inside django

Put differently:
Frameworks are full-featured and horrible to use
APIs are elegant but ultimately underpowered
DSLs (eg requests) are in intermediate sweetspot; we need more DSL-families
