Webdev: the times, they are a changin'

I echo Gabe's sentiment almost verbatim:
1) Django is the right answer
- an aside: I'm more interested in flask than the alternatives already discussed
2) make sure whatever you use (perl/python/java) find a good framework.
If you're wasting time reinventing the wheel, you're wasting time.
3) webdev is so much better than it was X years ago (for me X is 5)
4) Django docs are awesome and I have yet in my (admittedly short, since
1.1-ish) time with Django had issue with feature deprecation.
5) You have to put time in to use something that makes your life easier.
It's easier to `cp -R` backup your source than it is to learn git/hg,
but I ain't going back any time soon :)
