Also coming from Rails, besides the way pip, etc. works, I was also surprised at just how fragmented the landscape is. And with a lot of strong opinions on how that person’s viewpoint is correct. When I was figuring this stuff out it was very confusing because of course these strongly held opinions neglect to list the huge downsides. I think it’s an interesting note about the culture of Python.
YES!! 100%, I emphatically CANNOT stand how terrible model validations are in Django (obvious vs Rails) and they are a direct result of "we do it better".
full_clean vs Form.full_clean vs DRF. It's just an absolute shit show.
Even if it is better, it's just annoying and not worth the benefits.
For us the overall benefits outweigh the drawbacks but I get angry every time when I need to do a model validation.
