I think maybe different communities attract and cultivate people with different sense of aesthetics. I originally learned Django and have been picking up a little bit of RoR. I never found the additional context-specific RoR "magic" to be particularly elegant. It definitely reduces the number of lines of code, but I think to be elegant you need be as concise as possible while still remaining clear.
