## CherryPy Reviews
  ### 1. Use Flask and Django when you can, use CherryPy when you have to

**Rating:** 0.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Yorick (Yuxiang) S. | Software Developer II, Internet, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 20, 2018

**What do you like best about CherryPy?**

I like Flask the most.  Many of the aspects that I like about Flask are the same aspects that I don't like about CherryPy.

Does Cherrypy have any exclusive features that I like? Not really. At least, in my company, all of the cherrypy based services can be rewritten by Flask or Django easily. 

**What do you dislike about CherryPy?**

CherryPy has many less 3rd party modules than Flask. and you won't easily find community support if you have questions about it. 
For example, I was stuck with some 7 years' old service last week which was written in Cherrypy. I was wondering how I could split one big class into multiple smaller one, mount them, and don't change the apis. I managed to find something called "restful dispatcher", however, after 30min try, I still couldn't make it work. 

If that old service was written in Flask, I wouldn't have this much trouble. I could easily find similar questions&answers online. And moreover, the routing mechanism in Flask is so user-friendly. 

**What problems is CherryPy solving and how is that benefiting you?**

As I mentioned above, some of the very old services in my company were written in Cherrypy. We touch Cherrypy when we have to maintain those old services. That's pretty much the only cases when we use it, and it already brought us some headache. 

People can argue that, as a beginner, I'm not credible to criticize Cherrypy, however, if I, a developer with over 4 years' work experience, couldn't easily start with it, isn't it Cherrypy's own fault?
