I'm just starting to use angular and django together. I plan on using django's integration with Content Delivery Networks to serve static files including the Angular app files ( AngularJS itself can already be served with content delivery just by using the URL google provides: http://blog.angularjs.org/2012/07/angularjs-now-hosted-on-google-cdn.html but also image files that require fast response time. Django has nice tools to preprocess static files using the django-compressor <http://django-compressor.readthedocs.org/en/latest/> Things like 3rd party logins are basically solved and modularized into prepackaged apps: django-social-auth <http://django-social-auth.readthedocs.org/en/latest/> I also use python libraries that aren't associated with django, there's really not much that ISN'T written in python these days. I am able to get nice packages to access Web API. I'm using GIS data in one of my projects and django makes it really easy with: GeoDjango <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/gis/> which pulls together many ongoing GIS packages all into one simple, extensible interface that fits right into django. So I guess there's a lot of reasons to use django with Angular, but it depends on what you are trying to do. Moving stuff to the front end does make the back end less important, but you still need a backend unless you can really do what you need to with solutions that basically amount to having your Angular app have all the functionality and having storage in a cloud db. I've also thought of using Flask, another python web dev platform. Its supposed to be lighter weight than django, but lighter on functionality and conveniences and an active developer network. If I wasn't using any python awesomeness, maybe a Flask backend would improve server performance, but everything I'm working on can benefit from django so I haven't taken the time to learn Flask. Hope this helps. Django and AngularJS are two scoops of webdev icecream with sparkles. Hope you enjoy.
