I don't find Persona compelling, but I do think they offer an interesting value proposition for people - and framework developers - who have to implement their own user authentication.

Even Django - which is about as close to the proverbial bicycle with training wheels as you can get - can be a pain, especially after django-registration was abandoned. The Django documentation was never really good either, to make matters worse.

It also makes writing guides that much simpler, so although Persona doesn't hold much sway in a vaccum, it's great to have as a pragmatic option.
