Django/Python or Django/React or React/MongoDB

Which do you prefer to use for websites? Django + python, React + Django back? Or....what else? I’m getting to the point of “what should I focus on”,
React hooks, I like, but it seems like there’s a whole lot there to lear, individualy, but vs Django, it’s more strait forward.

Or, how often do you use Django REST framework???

Might come across as an unpopular take. However I would recommend building it in Django (the entire app). You can also make use of Ajax or JQuery for more funky frontend stuff or API calls.

You can then later add React into your app. One good way could be to make use of: github.com/Frojd/django-react-temp...

Django is python, and is for backend. React is Javascript and is for frontend
