The concern is certainly valid, but the metrics aren't. The number of people on PHP mailing lists and J2EE dwarfs all three by several orders of magnitude and does not prove that the languages are better. Popularity is always going to be a product of many factors, some valid, some not. Personally, I feel that TG and Django both have strengths and weaknesses, and are ideal fits for different circumstances of needs and resources. I also think that Django is an easier entry to new python developers and those moving from PHP, because of the more monolithic system and structure. This does not mean better, but it does mean that the number of adoptions will be higher. I would recommend learning all three to some degree. I prefer TG because of its more modular structure and dev philosophy, but YMMV.
