It never ends.  There is no possibility of there ever being a perfect
framework - the better one suits a certain class of projects, the worse
it will be for some other projects.  Churn happens.

The framework you want is the one which best suits your needs, modified
perhaps by considerations of the implementation language, supported
deployment methods (conversely, what's supported by the hosting
services you wish/need to run on), how active the development is (or
would you prefer more stability to more new features per year?), ...

For better or worse, Python has a plurality of different-shaped holes
rather than one square one into which all pegs must be pounded.
