Could not agree more. Sure, full stack JS might be nice and fancy but sometimes good old web technologies do the job.
You can pretty well integrate Django with any JS framework you want.
This is exactly what my new team project is doing. We need features from both Django and a frontend JS framework to accomplish our MVP.
It feels strange to hear of Django being a "good old web technology". I remember when it was released, felt super fresh (still does!) and upended the status quo. Hard to believe that is nearing 20 years ago now.
Django is not boring
Django 1.0 was released in 2008! If old is boring, then Django is.
Django is mature, stable, and battle tested without using flashy new tech. Django IS boring, but that's another one of its features.
(personal opinion, not an official Django statement)
