> The only reason I still would use Django today is the amazing Admin interface

What framework might you use if you had to build a multi-vendor marketplace with hundreds of forms and only 1% of the form fields require JavaScript for interaction? Would Django be a bad choice? I don't have experience with Django, but I have experience with Rails and Node.js, and I would pick Rails over Node.js for such a project without any hesitation.

Django does include a pretty robust Form framework with advanced features such as custom widgets, validation, and integration with the ORM. But there are other similar libraries outside of Django.

So I'd say Django gives you some tools to implement large forms but don't necessarily is a big advantage compared to something you might find in node or ruby

Rails for sure. I don’t see how Django would benefit you if you are already familiar with Rails.
