Flask 1.0 Released
I understand that Flask has become popular because it is easy to learn, but my experience is that as your knowledge progresses it just keeps getting in your way. I particularly dislike some design choices which look like afterthought hacks, such as global variables for current request and using abort() functions instead of raising exceptions directly.<p>EDIT: To avoid hollow naysaying, here are some alternatives to Flask I find much better designed:<p><pre><code>    - Tornado Web Framework [0]
    - Falcon [1]
</code></pre>
