Django or Rails ?

Rails feels like magic to me. Too much stuff gets done for me, and as a control freak that makes me uncomfortable. Django seems much clearer and cleaner. I know why things happen and if I need to I can easily change, alter, or fix something without worrying that the magic will break.

I've been learning Rails and I LOVE it. I can't stop coding, it's actually kind of "sick" since I get like 4 hours of sleep.<p>I have PG to blame because his whole advice on "learn to code" was so very true. I'm not a CS major (I did take a 'few'classes) but Rails really makes sense to me. Coding is just so..logical.

I love python. I really enjoy programming in it. But then I went to my local bookstore and checked out the web section. <p>There's not a single django book. Or even a web related python book at all. But there's a whole section of Rails books. Now, that isn't to say that you need a book to write a rails/django app, it's just an example of all the energy and community behind rails. <p>It's got so much momentum. The same kind of momentum php once had.. It's only a matter of time before the tools get better and better because of it. Working in Django might be nice, but I really think it will be more like swimming upstream.

I'm also a non-CS major and have taken the advice of many to learn how to program. I'm actually currently learning python and will probably venture into Django once I acquire a fairly moderate skill set.<p>I really never imagined it being this addicting/fun/satisfying.

My background is in php so I am using CakePHP and i love it.

Rails has a good marketing team. This is coming from a Railser. Not to mention, news.yc needs a search feature cuz this topic has definitely come up a few times in the past. BigHeadLabs needs to make their url sticky.

Toss a coin.
