Well Django is good for ORM, migration and admin. DRF gave a new opportunity to provide new web technology to this old framework but it's not enough.
The global stack is very heavy and it's very complicated to use Websocket.
I was fan of Django but for me the future is in framework like phienix: light stack, fast, secured and supporting current web technology. It's avoid you all the time loose to implement tornado/rabbitmq stuff.
