Another boring release without much innovation. I wonder what's stopping Django from releasing more useful features like other frameworks are doing. Maybe the team is stuck in the past.

They've been trying to improve forms for a long time but it still sucks. I think they should just remove it at this point and let external packages solve the problem.

Not much no, but both the GeneratedField and db_default would be useful in almost all projects I've ever implemented in Django.

Good for you but they're niche features that most developers will never use. I certainly won't.

That's why I switched to NextJS anyway. Django's implementing features voted by the board and companies who fund the project the most. They don't care about end users anymore.

can you list the features you mentioned that is lacking in django?
