People seem to think that because web2py has a default for almost everything (part of its design) than you must use the default.
- There is a web based IDE but you *can* use the shell instead (like you do in Django) - There are migrations but you *can* disable then (and it works like Django that does not do migrations) - There are default views for every action but you *can* make your own - There is a default route to every action but you *can* create your own routes.py, equivalent to Django urls.py - There is a default for form layout but you *can* customize them in multiple ways - There is a default widget for every field but you *can* change it or define your own - There is a default validator for every field but you *can* change it or create your own - It comes with a default layout.html but you can user any other html/ css layout or make your own - It comes with jQuery but you *can* use any other javascript library - It default to email/password login but you *can* use other authentication methods (gmail, twitter, openid, rpx, cas, ldap). - etc. The only things that web2py does not let you customize are things that have security implications (like how sessions and uploads are handled).
