I prefer Flask and I agree. However there is a big difference. If you learn how to turn flask into that crappy version of Django, you will thank yourself because you know what choices the Django Devs took. You will know what each section of a Django project is, and why it is that way, or how you can make it follow something nonstandard.

I have interviewed plenty of flask and Django Devs, and usually, the Django Devs reply to some of my questions is usually "that's how Django does it"

That is a poor, poor answer.
