Steady improvement is the right approach. However the lack of (builtin) equivalents like ViewComponents, Turbolinks, a proper GraphQL library that rivals DRF, etc. emphasize the standstill of Python webdev. I reckon the current sync/async divide doesn’t do us any favors, but we should be able to add that type of killer feature with wide community support into the mix.

The problem is frequently not with Django itself but with the third-parties that may have some months of delays in supporting the new version officially.
Otherwise, the new release schedule adopted in 2015 ease the migration for everyone: it's like there's very few things to check when upgrading from 2.1 to 2.2 or 3.0 to 3.1.

However I guess it could gain in popularity and contributions with remote events encouraging newcomers to contribute to Django.

Find a way to decouple more elements: eg models + views systems, or models + business logic. Encourage separating persistence from business logic. I'd like to see alternative databases supported better (DynamoDb in particular). Use more type-safe languages. Sad to say, but the future might not be written in Python.

Provide an upgrade guide from LTS to LTS.

Provide more hints where deprecated features are used. Ideally, provide an script that makes changes to upgrade automatically, f.e. when an import name changes, a parameter is renamed, added or gets mandatory.

Updating the project to resolve all the deprecation issues is the main problem. Instead of incrementally updating one version at a time, it would be faster to be able to generate all the warnings when going from 2.2 to 3.2. Something like a flag in 3.2: manage.py test --upgrade-warnings=2.2

Migrations are still such a fantastic implementation. I've got my team in love with them.

I feel Django could possibly ship with a few extra bits in it and maybe have some more advanced tutorials and walkthroughs in the docs. Overall I'm still a huge fan.

Better code examples in "Backwards incompatible changes" section in the release notes. Additionally, maybe link the pull request that changed the behavior, so if the explanation is not sufficient enough to explain the change, we can check what exactly changed in the code and see if the change will affect our own code. We like to keep up with the latest and greatest versions, but sometimes we hesitate because we find the explanation of the change not clear enough.

Right: Documentation, standards-, defacto standards-based preference when deciding implementation. Change: maybe decouple Django. In some non-Django projects we use `django.db` for the Queryset API. It would be nice if there's a simple way of installing `django.db` only.

Probably django can change the documentation related to the tutorial to make it more comprehensive guide and being closer to real-world examples or scenario, otherwise i'm pretty fine with state of Django right now

Django is amazing. I can’t wait for full async. I would love it if there was some sort of official Django certification.

I also have a few favorite Django teachers, courses, and books. I’d love to see more recommendations directly on Django’s website.

Django is excellent. Django's still my batteries-included framework of choice.

Django has a huge opportunity lead in async development. Signals has never been that great, and it has quite a bit of overlap with the opportunities in async. I'd like to see Django apply a bit of the Zen to that sort of background/async tasks:
> There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.
