I just wanted to drop a little praise to everyone who has contributed to Django over the years.
I worked on a project about a year ago, and did it exclusively in CakePHP. I can't go into too many details about what the project is due to privacy concerns, but it revolved around customer self-service booking for events. This included a very long form that was broken out into several steps. The customer has asked for quite a few changes as of recently, and the CakePHP app is becoming unmanageable and too time consuming to update. Over the past few days I took a stab at rewriting it in Django. It was pretty easy to copy over the templates and adjust them to the syntax that Django expects. I changed around the models a little, and modifications since then have been incredibly easy thanks to using South. It makes going from development to production a breeze. In addition to that, the auto-admin interface has been incredible. It "just works". There are a few minor things that have needed tweaking, but it's been fast and easy to do. When I update a model with a new attribute, they automatically show up (unlike Cake). Finally, the FormWizard is incredible. I can't even begin to mention how much time I wasted writing my own for this particular project. I didn't mention all of the external apps I've included, but they have sure made my life a heck of a lot easier. Thanks again to everyone who has put time and effort into making Django a great framework. My first project with it has made everything much easier, and I can't praise it enough.
