One thing that rarely gets brought up is deployment. If you're in a shop with Windows webservers. Django pretty much isn't going to happen for you. I remember a couple of years ago there was some effort toward a WSGI module for Apache based on Cygwin or something. I'm a huge advocate of JRuby. It's Ruby for the JVM. Consider the fun of getting to write Ruby, and the joy of knowing you can deploy to anywhere with a JVM. I'm not a Windows fan by ANY stretch. I do all my development on my Linux laptop... but the powers that sign the checks think Windows is swell. So consider where you'll be deploying.
