DRF is cancer. Try doing anything simple with DRF and you got subclasses over subclasses with overrides and overrides. I hate DRF with all my heart. DRF works only, if you intend to exactly match your model. If deviate just a little bit, the complexity explodes in hour hand.
The biggest gripe I have with Django is that coupling it with modern UIs like Svelte and company is massively complex. The community has failed to deliver a clear guidance on how to handle implementation of such frameworks, including Vite and build steps. Which is the primary thing that drives me away from Django. I'm looking towards Laravel next. Very often, when researching how to implement JS Frameworks into Django I seem to find guidance on how to do this with Laravel and I want to know if it's really that comfy as it sounds.
