Rails or Django? (or something else?)
I'm interested in learning a web framework. The two big ones, as I gather, are Rails and Django. Which one is better/faster? Is one better designed or more logically consistent than the other? Is there another framework I should look into? How easy is it to set up and administer a Rails or Django server, and how easy is it to find a shared hosting plan?

To give a little background, the websites I'm currently used to making are in straight PHP (no framework) and I'd like to be able to manage some of the complexity that comes from feature creep. Outputting HTML with echo becomes a lot less fun the more you have to customize it. In addition, I don't know either Ruby or Python so I'm free to go either way.

note: I'm not interested in ASP. I'd like to develop on a Mac and deploy to Linux/FreeBSD and I don't think that ASP fits the bill.
