Django and Ruby On Rails : which is the best ?

As an agile web framework enthusiastic I am happy to see some flameware about Django and Ruby On Rails appearing these days. Everthing started with a Rails/Django Comparison that is, IMO, too superficial to be interesting.

After that predius come with a nice piece of fanboyism called Why Django kicks Ruby on Rails’ collective ass. To response to this biased post another Django fanboy gives more interesting reasons to use Django over ROR : Constructive reasons to use Django instead of Rails.

Finally, somebody unbiased tell us interesting things about how ROR can take advantages of the natural modularity of Django.

Django and ROR are different and were designed to solve different problems. There isn't an ultimate web framework to do all tasks. You can always find a task for what tool X is more suited than tool Y. So it's important to be aware of differences to choose the right tool for the task.
