My opinion, RoR was just right there when people were getting frustated with java and perl and it was very well marketed hence much wider adoption. now Ruby has another framework - MERB which is gaining traction.
Django is like RoR + MERB + more based on presentations I have seen on RoR and MERB. Not sure why it is not getting that level of popularity. I like Django very much and have recommended it to many people. Google App engine using parts of Django helped a lot in Django gaining more adoption.
