I think one of the main reasons Ruby on Rails took off and Django really hasn’t is because of how much better Rails has been marketed. 37signals, the company responsible for creating Rails, is a design studio that is famous for simple, elegant, usable design. Django never really had a innovative design studio/person loudly backing it. Zooomr is very innovative, but I have never once read an article talking about Zooomr’s use of Django. |
We are currently developing two applications at Okapi; one with Ruby on Rails, and one with Django. While Ruby on Rails the most popular Web Frameworks these days, there is a ever growing Django following, which was open sourced about a year after Ruby on Rails was. |
