Why Is the Django Admin "Ugly"?
Django is an artifact from another time period of the web, and I&#x27;d argue it&#x27;s in  decline.<p>If you want an admin wrapper around your database, you have better many modern alternatives (I use directus).
If you want low code and easy platform, you have bubble.io.
If you want an easy api for your database, you can use things like hasura.
If you want python frameworks, try fastapi (its third party admin is great).
If you want an orm, sqlalchemy gives you more bang for your buck.<p>Many of Django&#x27;s third party packages are out of date.
The data science python community has settled on Gradio.<p>The sweet spot of Django seems to have disappeared. 
Jobs for Django are lower paying, and often more high stress than .net or other languages.<p>Django has a great outreach with it&#x27;s Django Girls, Afro-Django and Django Foundation. However I feel like it&#x27;s technical side needs far more love, the source code needs some major refactoring and cleanup.<p>I thought about this indepth on whether to send my daughter to django girls, or just train her in .net and c# myself.
