I switch from Rails to Django a while ago. On a feature base the two frameworks are equals. I explained it in depth in this video http://vimeo.com/31083901 ( It's in Italian,mf.Du you speak it?! :-) ). Basicaly I turn on django beacuse I prefer Python to Ruby: again the two languages starts from the same assumptions ( Guido also told that ) it's just my personal taste. Also django do things THE WAY I like more. For ex: the configuration is simpler because it uses python files as config an not [name yours]ml. That said in DEVELOPMENT MODE ( production is a total different world ) Django is faster than Rails. The time to running test/ start dev server is not 100% of a developer productivity so I'm not saying that django is more productive than rails. I'm saying that I'm more productive with django than with rails. Use C++, Fortran ,Lisp ,Scala what ever you want: just deliver good software. PLZ
Minor grammar Nazi point (since you mention you are Italian, and might be interested) - "turn on" is either "sexually attracted to" or "suddenly attack", depending on the context. i.e. "She turned me on, the smell of cigarettes is not a turn-on for me, the dog suddenly turned on me and started biting". I've no idea why ...
