Simple and excellent but quiet isn't such a bad thing.

Its great these other frameworks are raising the profile level of Python
itself; no doubt some developers new to the language will shop around and be
attracted to Quixote, or other solid frameworks not currently at the top of

Ultimately all roads lead to the same place, sooner or later the web
framework chooser needs to sit down and write applications...
