Out of curiosity, for people who have do projects in both Django and Ruby on Rails, which one would you prefer and why?

I learned Python more than 10 years ago, but later chose Rails to be my first web framework to learn, as I also wanted to learn more about Ruby, hence the question.

As someone who has used quite a few MVC frameworks professionally, in my opinion, Ruby on Rails continues to be the gold standard in many ways. Django feels more like a toy framework which, if I may say so, appeals mostly to developers who picked up Python as undergrads and then were not impelled in their particular careers to master other languages.
