Having learned Django first, and attempted to build stuff with Rails (for intellectual curiosity) multiple times, it's interesting how I have basically the exact same opinion as you in reverse.
For me, the Django way of doing (almost) everything makes sense. Rails feels backwards. I also feel like I get more baked-in with Django, even when not factoring-in the admin. And its distinction of "Apps" vs Rails' "Gems" makes me feel like I have a lot more available from the community in terms of third-party plug-and-play code. Being able to have a minimum viable product without writing a single line of my own Django code because of apps in the community just doesn't exist for Rails as far as I could tell.
