> and I know there's a devout Flask community as a Django alternative
Really? Tell me where the Flask community is.
I actually regretted my decision of choosing Flask over Django after 2 months of working with it precisely for that very reason.
You can find tons and tons of tutorials, docs, writings about best practices from others, crowded IRC discussions, etc. for Django -- not so for Flask. But maybe I'm mistaken? I'd love it if you clue me in as to where all the Flask people are hiding.
