> 1. Why choose Django over J2EE

Clarity vs. complexity (I find J2EE over-the-top'ly baroque). 
using Python, I don't miss the compilation cycle in Java, and the 
astronomical number of JSRs numbs the mind.

> 2. Why choose Django over RoR

I prefer Python's readability over Ruby.  Otherwise, both offer 
the same sort of agility.

> 3. Why choose Django over PHP

PHP-raw is a maint. headache.  Using some of the PHP frameworks 
(cake, etc) helps alleviate those problems, but I still prefer 
Python over PHP as a language.

PHP does have the considerable advantage that every $2/mo shared 
hosting provider offers PHP, while you have to shell out a bit 
more for Django hosting.  For any serious project, this isn't 
much of an issue, but




Most of these advantages involve you the developer -- what 
language do you prefer, how are you hosting it, etc.  Unless the 
client will be assuming maint. of the project and has a language 
preference (or the $2/mo hosting is an issue), it shouldn't 
matter much to them.

Just my $0.02
