It's great for getting things up and running. And can last a long time. But now that we're 40 devs or so working in the same 400k LOC codebase, I'd prefer Java/Spring (or really, Kotlin). So hard to maintain django in the long run, need to be really strict, or one ends up with each app spaghettied with other apps. Doing queries where you filter deep on other apps' models, and since it's only done as kwargs with no typing nothing stops that from exploding runtime when someone changes a model somewhere. Too easy to send fat objects around everywhere, accidentally doing heavy db stuff when using a property. Also makes it harder to test, because everything leaks.
