Ask HN: Is there anything significantly more difficult to do in Django than RoR?

I have a feeling that Django is more suited for publishing, blogs and other websites with Instagram, OpenSea or Sentry being the most complex examples. Or is it all subjective and both full-stack frameworks are rather equivalent delivering roughly same time to market?

I've used both but only in a fairly limited capacity, and they both seemed easy enough to me. I haven't looked to see if Rails has something similar but Django has an out of the box admin system that allows you to do CRUD stuff for database entries behind the scenes which is great, because it's one less thing I need to build myself.

I think both are great. I prefer Django but it's a personal preference and also have only dabbled with Rails. My 2 cents - Rails has better support for mobile apps (Turbo Native) while I feel Django has a richer 3rd party app ecosystem - but that may be just because I use Django more.
