Cons

• Monolithic structure can feel bloated for simple apps
• Learning curve is steep if you're new to Python frameworks

FastAPI

The Python framework that makes you feel like a genius, until you realize you're just using type hints.

Pros

• Automatic OpenAPI documentation generation
• Built-in data validation with Pydantic
• Async support out of the box

Cons

• Dependency injection can get messy in large projects
• Steeper learning curve for beginners compared to Flask

The Verdict
