Please dont conflate library and framework. Library, framework, DSL are different approaches for solving similar problems. I personally tend to prefer DSL's, dislike frameworks and am neutral to libraries. Which is why I would tend to start with flask + template-language + ORM rather than start with a framework. Others may have for very good reasons different preferences and that is fine¹. But if you say equate all these, discussion becomes a mess. ----------------- ¹ html + js + css is a good example of how/why the DSL approach can lead to a mess. Curl shows a better way https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curl_%28programming_language%29 aside from the politics -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
