Except in a case when we want to build an e-commerce website for client. PHP has so many mature frameworks, like Magento/WooCommerce etc. I look at Python ecosystem. Yeah, we have Oscar and Saleor but they are pale compared to their PHP cousin.

But other than e-commerce, yes, Django or even Rails is my preferred choice.

You might want to give it a shot. PHP has vastly improved with PHP7

I don’t know. I think I’d rather touch Symfony than Rails at the moment.

And both probably beat out Node.js
