However, I keep discovering more and more Rails design choices that either match or closely align with my preferences.&lt;p&gt;The three biggies comparing to Django are:&lt;p&gt;1) Powerful templates (including the convenience of &quot;Helpers&quot;)&lt;p&gt;2) Non-declarative schema ORM with full migration support&lt;p&gt;3) Form validation and generation with Rails doesn&apos;t suck&lt;p&gt;Lastly, Rails feels battle tested and production ready. Everything from the Rake tasks, to the framework surface area, to the plugins available seems tuned for real applications. Python stacks I have tried often require &lt;i&gt;a lot&lt;/i&gt; of hackery to handle server configurations, deployment, content builds, template helpers, ... the list goes on and on.</text></comment>
