Python question: Flask vs aiohttp

Anyone out there using Flask and/or aiohttp? I have an intuitive sense of the difference between these two frameworks, but I'm looking for some context from people that have used them more. What's your sense of the relative merits and drawbacks of these two frameworks?

    I built the SaaS boilerplate based on Flask (if you are interested in what it is, look into my profile). I found this framework very easy to use, convenient, and flexible. There is a huge community on reddit and stackoverflow to support it. I have never heard about aiohttp :(

    I'm with @Zencentric, Flask is easy, flexible, extensible. I don't wanna hear about django while I can use flask. Also never heard of aiohttp, googling now about it :).

    I'm using https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapi feels like what Flask should be like.
