copied!<p>[Repost from HN, same link as question, as I would like to hear your(you did not reply on HN) and SO response.]</p> <p>I am obviously biased, as I run a django development company. That said, Ill start with answering the drawbacks of Django,</p> <ol> <li><p>Learning curve.: Not more than any other framework. Plus the Documentation is top notch. (The documentation was what sold me when I was evaluating.)</p></li> <li><p>Smaller community: Definately true. But beyond a critical size, size of community does not matter. Django is well above that size. (Irc: any given time ~200 Devs. Google group: 14000+ Users )</p></li> <li><p>Slower development cycle of the project itself?: Why? If you give more details, I can answer that.</p></li> <li><p>(un)Availability of offshore resources: Definately less than Rails, but still not as bad as you would have thought. A very small list, <a href="http://uswaretech.com/blog/2009/03/web-development-companies" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://uswaretech.com/blog/2009/03/web-development-companies</a>...</p></li> </ol> <p>Thats said, given the information you have, I your case I would choose Rails. Even if most of the work you are looking to offshore, your existing Rails experience would be a huge plus, helping you evaluate vendors, keep track.</p> <p>On a semi-related note, Django is less mature/smaller community is way overblown, some figures,</p> <ol> <li>Years under development. ROR: 5/Django 5</li> <li>Members in largest google group: ROR 18000+/Django 14000+</li> <li>Members in Irc currently: Ror 436/Django 401</li> <li>Commits to repo: Ror ?/Django 11000+</li> </ol>
