No doubt, the Rails community has issues, although on the whole, it seems to me larger, more dynamic, and open. I saw the django issues as coming from the fact that it was tightly held for a specific purpose for a specific company for a long time. People were generally really nice in the community. Some of it may also be the more introverted characters attracted to python. Also, I have lots of friends who are django fans and I hope that django improves on all these fronts. The character of a community is both hard to quantify and hard to change. The rails community has grown so fast and been so open that it doesn't even seem to have a specific character, which is something I quite like about it.
