I don't understand what's so great about Django. Out of the box it is not setup for TDD, REST and XSS protection.

Yes it is.

As for REST, Django speaks HTTP - it's really not hard to build a REST API with it. There's also Piston: http://bitbucket.org/jespern/django-piston/

I stand corrected on testing and XSS, even if it feels like you have to do extra steps for the configuration of all these things though.
