Different needs create different opinions
As I was looking for PHP and Python web frameworks I ran into one article of James Bennett with the title "Python Web Frameworks". It is very interesting because the arguments fit into every controversy I have seen not only in the web but everywhere.
The author separates the Python web frameworks into two categories. The first category is the "full stack frameworks" and the second is the "glue frameworks". He describes the different features and functionalities that each category provides and wisely says
"There is no perfect framework. There are only different frameworks that suit different kinds of people."
The most interesting part of the article is how he explains that when both parties claim that their framework is better they are both wrong!
I have seen people saying "X is the best Linux distro/framework/programming language/etc" - "No you are wrong! Z is the best ......" and so on. Even recently in one examination some students from side (A) said "the other side (B) has easier exercises" and at the same time students from side (B) said "side (A) has easier exercises".
When you see such controversies or hear such things you don't have to get involved because it won't help anyone. Remember that "there is no perfect opinion, only different needs served by different opinions"
