The form API is pretty good, but I don't think the rest makes it stand out 
that much, compared to other frameworks. To me, the notion of reusable apps 
and the application ecosystem it allows is Django's most compelling feature. 
You are, of course, welcome to disagree.

You'll at least agree that in terms of line of codes necessary to implement a 
custom tag, it's very far from optimal, I hope?
