Why is a two-year-old article being posted now? EDIT: Sorry, should've added: Especially in a domain that changes so quickly? Both Django and Rails have grown immensely since this was last updated.
I had never read this article before, and I was happy to read it today.
What he said about Django applies today - all of it. He really did a good job of summing up the powerful point of Django - the grace of Python, generic views, the admin back-end, inherited templates, etc, etc.
But in Rails land, there have been significant changes over the last two years in addressing a number of the issues.
Of course, let's not forget that Rails 3.0 (which is where the merge with Merb will be accomplished) will give Rails more of the points he highlighted in that article.
I'd love to see a balanced comparison using more up to date versions and see how it fares...
