tar xzvf Django-1.3.tar.gz



You know, I used to develop web apps using both Django and Rails. What made me stop using Django was this sheer fanboism by Django community. I couldn't stand it. Sure, there was a time when Rails devs were known for their fanboism. But not anymore. I find the Rails community acts a lot matured nowadays. On the other hand the Django community is going downhill. For every web framework recommendation question on StackOverflow, its "Django! Django!". They don't even bother to see the requirements. It gets even uglier on Reddit. A Django fanboy even bothered to start this site: http://ihaterubyonrails.com


Interesting, having built Django apps for a few years now I haven't noticed this ravenous Django fanboyism myself, but I'm about to start a full time job working with Rails so maybe I'll catch some flak as I mix my community participation a bit more. Granted, I have my own list of Django pet-peeves anyway, so I don't tend to let any "Django rocks, fuck Rails" comments go uncorrected.


I agree


Could you please backup with your claims with some evidence?


Can't. It boils down to Python vs. Ruby.


May i know what did i post that is irrelevant to this discussion to get downvoted? You down voted me because i asked for evidence? As a mater of fact django devs were receptive to Criticism http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1777403


Because responding to someone's statement of opinion with "prove it" isn't an effective way to further a conversation.
