"Petty" was a poor word choice -- apologies.  I was strictly referring 
to the repetitive nature of having to roll your own 
authentication/validation/etc code in every application that gets 
built.  Having a framework like Django takes away that burden and lets 
you focus on the task at hand (and other important things such as not 
getting owned).  Having a set of mature, time-tested libraries available 
to handle all of the common issues makes the whole process a lot more 
enjoyable.
