Description

It would be helpful to include a comparison of popular Python web app frameworks in the docs to help customers answer questions like:

  • What are the benefits of using Shiny vs. X?
  • When should I use Shiny vs. X?
  • Can Shiny do feature Y that framework X can do?

For example, docusaurus has this section in their docs that provides a brief comparison to many other docs tools: https://docusaurus.io/docs#comparison-with-other-tools.
