Django has several benefits over PHP:

• Database schemas are derived from class declarations
• Database migrations are created automatically as classes change
• Interactive forms for editing table content is provided out of the box and can be customized for smoother UI experience
• Authentication and roles are provided out of the box
• Supports unit testing
• Supports modern UI for mobile and desktop devices (see manx is not mobile device friendly #99 )

Currently, adding new features to manx requires a lot of low-level manual coding of SQL and database manipulations. There are PHP frameworks for web applications such as Symfony and Yii but they don't appear to have the automatic generative capabilities of Django when it comes to database schemas and form editing.
