Don't ever mention django to a rails guy unless you want a fight ;-)
django actually came first, python is a more mature language, and the interpreter is alot faster. ruby is arguably cooler, and rails has better code gen though.
If you ever get the chance, give TextMate a try. Itll really blow your socks off. As for OSX, it is just such a joy to use that if you are doing something as cross platform as web work, there isnt that much of a reason not to.
