While I agree all web frameworks are roughly on par, they do each have their particular strengths. The Onion could have gone with Rails, SPRING, Wicket, Cake, Symphony, or Pylons. They're equally as "good" as Django or any other framework. However in this case Django is an outlier for what the use case they needed, after all it was created for content based web apps like LJWorld.
