I use both, but we choose Django for all new projects. For advantages of Django vs Symfony, there's first advantages of Python over PHP...

In a web design context probably the biggest advantage is having things like asynchronous code where it makes sense and websockets without having to use another technology stack such as node.js.

Otherwise I simply find we are more productive using Django, it allows less boilerplate code for similar functionality, there is less complexity involved overall.

Disadvantage is maybe for really large projects with many developers, Symfony might be easier to have someone pick up the code since it's more standardized.
