I should have added that the above screencast compares Ruby-on-Rails with various Java/J2EE frameworks, with Zope/Plone, Turbogears and Django. He doesn't make any recommendations, but one can't help but feel that he like Django the most, is impressed and Turbogears, and was initially wowed by RoR but then began to have a few doubts. So that's a view from a full-time software engineer form NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL - the bunch responsible for all the interplanetary unmanned exploration missions over the last few decades). Note that the screencast is about 6 months old now and RoR but particularly Django and Turbogears have further matured and have had some rough spots honed and their documentation improved since then.
