alt Hacker NewsDjango has been one of the biggest reasons why web development has been so enjoyable to me. Whenever I switched to something else, I just felt too spoiled by everything that Django gives you. So I always ended up back with Django, and have no regrets at all specializing deep down that path.

That’s true as long as you are only talking about the backend.
Frontend wise, Django is in the Stone Age.
Look at Laravel or rails if you want a really complete full stack solution.

Never understood the appeal. I started with the web before there were any frameworks, in PHP, and Django was always very meh.
Have you tried Ruby on Rails. That's my experience with Rails. Everytime I've tried something else (for web dev), I just felt too spoiled with Ruby & Rails and went back. This includes Django and Phoenix (Elixir).
Edit: The only thing that Rails lacks is a decent Admin UI included as part of Rails. I know that there are some external gems that can be used, yet that's something that should be part of the framework in my opinion.
