> Typically I roll with Django, but have been super impressed with the Rails 3.
Can you explain what specifically you like more about Rails? I've been using Django because my initial exposure to Rails confused me - after running the basic "start project" command there were dozens of files generated - compared to the 4 that get generated with Django (and the 3 or 4 more when you start a Django "app").
I'm also curious if you're planning on turning this site into a money-maker, just because it says joining will get you "50 free", but I don't see any pricing anywhere else?
I can't go as far as saying that I prefer one more than the other. They're both pretty awesome in their own way.
I'm actually way more comfortable with Django, but the Gem eco-system with Rails is amazingly mature, and the Rack based approach of Rails 3 seems to have positioned the framework really well, architecturally. I found Ruby/Rails idioms pretty confusing when beginning. But most of the learning curve w/ simple projects is really about "where stuff lives", and that's the same effort to learn in any framework.
Django pros: Admin, Python, Explicit model definitions (not via introspection like Active Record), South > Rails migrations (IMO), easier to create relational models, query syntax rocks.
