I am working through the Django tutorial. Here are some thoughts.
There aren't any real controllers. Interesting.
The instant admin area is amazing.
Pluggable apps are such a great idea.
The way to define fields seems pretty straight forward. Using a more object style versus a more ruby-like dsl seems to help because finding the documentation should be easier.
This is different from other frameworks. I like the idea of having a language module as the components.
