So, I like django templates, a lot, and I have used them quite a bit. The sheer variety of built-in tags and filters and the ability to define custom ones is great...

Here's what I don't like: the effort that goes into setting up a fresh template starting from a raw HTML page.

Every time I start a new project I need to lookup-up django docs for these info nuggets:

  - Where and how to place the template in the project folder

  - How to deal with "static assets" such as JS, CSS and images  

  - Painstakingly inserting static tags and wrapping the 'href's and the 'src's in it ...

Besides, the above is just the necessary first step and the real work of wiring-up the context variables is still ahead of us...

When I had freshly started with django I did find this a tad bit overwhelming. Today, if you are a fresher to django - do you feel this way?

After working on several django projects I find this "template deal" to be somewhat of an annoyance. If you are a django veteran - do you too feel this way?

Would love to know your thoughts and opinions on this.

Hola!

In which of the following contexts do you use the Django web framework?

1. Bootstrapped business websites (e.g. eCommerce, SaaS, etc)

2. Personal pages (e.g. blog, portfolio, etc)

3. Developing 3rd party websites (freelancer / company)

4. Embedded development (e.g. deployed on a Rpi for IoT, etc)

5. Something else?

Appreciate your answers much!
