I am also a Rails dev, but one feature I think Django really got right that is head and shoulders above Rails are Form Objects (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.djangoproject.com&#x2F;en&#x2F;1.9&#x2F;topics&#x2F;forms&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.djangoproject.com&#x2F;en&#x2F;1.9&#x2F;topics&#x2F;forms&#x2F;</a>).  Rails&#x27; attr_accessible stuff and even strong_parameters really pales in comparison.
