I should hope that it would not go beyond disagreement over a few points. The two communities have much in common. Where there is disagreement... well, those are in matters of taste. And, as always, there's no accounting for that.
Django was not released until some time after rails. Although it did exist as an internal project at Lawrence Journal-World. Python's library availability is much more complete, which I find to be a big plus. And it is a lot faster. I prefer Python, but sometimes feel that the Python community is a little too anal about "Explicit, not implicit".
Yes, I've seen a lot of TextMate and OSX. And while I maintain respect for people who use them, I prefer to use FOSS tools, myself. Sometimes, I have to make tough decisions about going with FOSS or proprietary packages for my clients. But when it comes to my own personal use, and my own development tools, that choice is always easy. :-)
