I've been working with Django (in Python) for a while now, and find it strikes a really nice balance. Almost nothing happens by magic, but there's also surprisingly little boilerplate. It used to be a little rough, but it's gotten a lot better in recent years especially (I think likely due in no small part to influence/competition from rails), so if you haven't checked it out recently, you should!
