Rails and Django are two web frameworks standing at the same place greeting people coming from opposite directions. They are vaguely familiar with what each other are doing, but for the most part are just trying to do what's best for their own users. They have way more in common than they have differences and I think each community could benefit from learning the other's workflow.

I think Rails is slightly more beginner friendly because of the conventions and magic but that becomes frustrating for more advanced developers. Rails is working on making themselves more customizable and Django is working on codifying standards. I'm pretty sure it's a meet-in-the-middle kind of thing.
