One thing I have noticed is django and RoR is for the most part, a designer oriented community. IE: Lots of designers, few real programmers/engineers, this is why you see design-oriented keywords floating around in those frameworks. Most of us here in the web2py community are programmers/engineers/physicists, etc... we don't have the best design skills, even if we are brilliant =)
