As a guy who has had a 8 year career largely in Django, I generally agree with this sentiment.

Even though I prefer and am probably much more functional with Django + htmx, my sense is that for general web applications both Rails and Laravel are generally more functional ecosystems.

Most of my Django work has been pretty data heavy or geospatial heavy, in which case I think python and/or geodjango are a great solution. In general, however, if I had a trajectory for more traditional web apps, I’d probably use Rails.

Rails was fun but combined with the uniqueness of Ruby, RoR always felt a little "too magic" for me.
