Haha, I've never heard TurboGears described as "low level". There are really two kinds of users, with different notions of what "a fast way to get started" is. One wants only the essentials and a short manual. The other wants all the optional parts prechosen and preconfigured. The third option, with application components, is something TG and Pylons have never really addressed, although TG has had db-admin and I think general admin screens at various times (until they become obsolete and don't get replaced). I guess Django has more of the application components, and that's one reason so many people have been using Django. But certainly there's a need for a TurboGears-level framework in any case. Many people don't want to spend hours deciding which auth library or form library or Javascript library to use, and they want admin screens and create-an-account-with-email-confirmation screens out of the box. But things like blogs and registration systems are a little big; they will always be add-on components.
