The most annoying part about doing Django as a dev coming from Rails is the RequestContext that isn't used by default, if you want to access specific contexts like settings. Then it means having to hack it using direct_to_template or writing a decorator. It's a different philosophy, but it's hard getting use to having to explicitly spell out everything when I just want to get going with defaults that make sense.
