That is the advice that certainly worked for me. For a long time I was
switching between web frameworks, as each have their nuances which
make them seem better than the others, and what you end up with is a
bit of knowledge on each...but not enough on any single one to get the
full power out of it. There is always risk involved with backing a
single horse, but I found it massively beneficial when I did.

In the end I settled with Pylons because I like it's lack of glue
between components but I'm positive I could have done all of my
projects in any of the frameworks and each would have had their
challenges and successes.

Kudos to Massimo though; web2py is a spiffy idea and it's implemented well.
