I've asked why people prefer Rails to Django repeatedly on HN. The best answer I've gotten [1] is that they're more-or-less feature-equivalent now, but historically speaking Rails beat Python to the niche and got entrenched due to network effects.

Can you give me some specific examples of stuff Rails does but Django doesn't?

Also, Ruby sucks. I know over a dozen languages, but every time I've tried to learn Ruby it's been an awful experience that's ended with me quitting in frustration at the totally unnecessary obtuseness and complexity of the core language's syntax [2] [3], before even getting into the enormous number of additional moving parts in a web framework as complex as Rails.
