i just finished up a django project that also had "8 million" dependencies, the difference was a lot of them started with "django-" and some dependencies I would have liked to use were off the table.

But the fact they start with Django means you can expect a) They will play nicely together. b) There will be consistencies between the libraries. c) Magic things like the Amdin interface will work.

(Is there any good replacement for Djangos Admin in another framework? Its amazingly powerful with a small amount of configuration).

true

the workflow for this particular project seemed to go like this...

* get requirement from client * search google for plugins/modules/etc * choose some * try to get them to work * use them or fork them or find others

which to me seems a pretty roundabout way of getting something accomplished if you already know what needs to be done. it doesn't feel like programming, it feels to me like assembling things and testing/hoping there are no issues. I'd rather be programming.
