Python 3.7.5 : Is Django the best web framework?

This is the question for today in order to lineup the Django features with any web framework from my point of view.
Let's start with a brief introduction to this framework:
Django was created in the fall of 2003, when the web programmers at the Lawrence Journal-World newspaper, Adrian Holovaty and Simon Willison, began using Python to build applications. Jacob Kaplan-Moss was hired early in Django’s development shortly before Simon Willison's internship ended.[16] It was released publicly under a BSD license in July 2005. The framework was named after guitarist Django Reinhardt.[17], see wikipedia.
The Python which is a high-level programming language interpreted with general-purpose and together with the Django web framework creates a solution in fulfilling the objectives of web programming.
The problem of most of those who do not know closely the programming of this framework remains unknown and can be difficult to understand only from examples and tutorials.
Here are some of the difficulties that I personally encountered and had to solve them step by step.
  1. understand how to use the link system between the python files created by Django;
  2. how to use the templates and how to update them with the Django specific syntax;
  3. understanding the way of displaying and resolving specific errors in Django;
  4. using and setting the settings.py file;
  5. understanding of how the web framework interacts with web technologies;
After solving these problems you will see the true power of this framework:
  1. the development is easier with good and lower development costs and so are the additions and upgrades;
  2. security is very good, see security documentation and deployment checklist;
  3. is an open-source framework and updated by developers who use it;
  4. most used and crowd tested and used to develop DropBox, Quora, Google, and Reddit;
  5. comes with extensive documentation;
  6. a large and community;
The official page of this web framework can be found on this webpage.
