I'm curious, what makes you feel web development is a very poor experience (i'm a python dev too)
I previously had a webapp built in Django, and just couldn't grok it. I made it work but always felt like I was fighting it. I tried Flask, but you have to build absolutely everything yourself.
I have a tiny team (2 devs) and hate spending time building and maintaining cookie cutter functionality like sign in flows, teams, etc.
