Is Django still relevant in the web community? I watched "Making Disqus Realtime" a year ago, where they were talking about building a real-time system using Django, gevent, gunicorn, Redis, Flask, nginx, haproxy. The entire stack could be condensed into node.js + socket.io.

Downloaded rendr, fired up the first example simple_00, opening links - Users and Repos, was painfully slow. With server MVC frameworks at least there is an indication by the browser that page you clicked on is currently loading. With client-side MVC frameworks pages usually load instantly and data arrives shortly after. In rendr, maybe it's just a terrible example, you wait 2+ seconds for a page to load and there is zero indication that page is loading.

I would be interested to know what exactly React solves when we already have so many options - Ember, Angular, Backbone to do the same thing.

Why would one want to increase the complexity of the application by introducing "yet another new thing" on an already complex architecture.

I am just not sold on React. If someone could show a demo of why should we use React instead of, Backbone.View for example, then we can talk.

It has already been unchecked. But then I found View > Navigation Bar. That's exactly what I was looking for.

Probably one of the most interesting features of the new Kindle Paperweight is this: "The display has 62 percent more pixels, and it’s super sharp with excellent contrast". There haven't been any new breakthroughs in the eInk department since B&N Nook Simple Touch and Kindle 4.

What is the fundamental difference between this and jQuery? And why some random pre-beta MVC javascript frameworks are more popular than Dojo?
