Django vs. Ruby on Rails

I'm wondering about diving into Ruby on Rails to qualify for a
position, or spending my time instead going deeper into a full bells
and whistles prototype Django site and betting on jobs opening up in
my field. This is really a GIS career professional question.

Has anyone here crossed the fence over to Ruby on Rails? What do you
think when:

1) Comparing the framework to Django;

2) The communities -- friendliness, support, etc.;

3) Using one or the other for Geographic Information Systems work;

4) (I was going to leave this out but) Comparing Ruby to Python as
languages.

I think I've generally answered the last question from my own
experience, great integration with spatial libraries, and from other's
recommendations vis-a-vis Ruby on Rails.

Answer any or all, if you like.

What concerns me about Django is that, outside of forums like this,
the chatter seems to have died down in the last couple of years from a
peak in 2008/2009.

I did search the group and haven't seen any recent discussions on this
comparison.

Any comment really very much appreciated.

Kind regards,
Brian
