However, I quickly started to notice things about Rails that bothered me, starting with Rails' conventions. Rails is also very monolithic. It's very difficult to encapsulate an application module such as a blog. There's so much “magic” in Rails that it's hard to understand what's happening behind the scenes, and the documentation, for lack of a better word, effing sucks.

Rails has come a long way in the past couple of years, but it's JUST NOW starting to work the way Django has worked since the beginning. Encapsulating app modules, including routing, views, etc, nested forms – all baked into Django since 0.96

Add Django's admin module and you just solved probably 95% of your use cases for editing content. It will save you an unbelievable amount of time.

When you compare the amount of code, workflow and results, I simply don't understand why anyone would choose Rails over Django, unless you just enjoy writing admin screens, logins, file uploads, form validators and everything else Django does out-of-the-box.

Don't let a lack of knowledge of Python stop you from getting started with Django, it's very English-like, with very minimal syntax and tons of built-in goodness. Django has the lowest learning curve of any framework I've used in the past 13 years as a professional web developer. Python is every bit as elegant and clean as Ruby, and is a hell of a lot faster to boot.

Happy coding!
