Ruby on Rails vs. Django
Bones has been dabbling with RoR and has posted his some thoughts about using it, including a good comparison of RoR vs. Django. To me, it sounds like a fair assessment of both frameworks.
Here’s an example:
Well, I can confirm that the Rails scaffolding doesn’t really compete with Django’s ability to generate a first-approximation admin interface. I can also confirm that Rails really pushes the testing line in a way that is very pleasing to me. I’d say that Rails goes a bit beyond that, however, in that it creates project layouts that feel — to me at least — far more like working robust development environments than the Django setup.
He says he’s not giving up on Django, but he will be going to RoR for now.
On a sort of related note (re: RoR love), Bruce Kroeze says he’s jealous of the Ruby on Rails 1.1 release.
