Django, because it has magical powers, who can beat that?
Rails. Anyway, I am not saying that Rails is better. I am just wondering how magical Django is?

#12Top Down Programming BABY!
Seriously, just install smarty and do it yourself. Then somebody can always do a basic edit to the templates and you don't have to weight the merits of the 10000X different frameworks against eachother and get back to Making Money!

#13If you do it yourself, does it count as a framework? Server: python, postgresql, cherrypy, simplejson Client: Javascript, HTML, CSS, Dojo, AJAX. All the HTML is loaded up front and then AJAX for all the rest. Dojo insulates me from browser quirks. TDD Python is what I use at work (and love) and is good for complex algorithms (language morphology, in arabic). I don't use an all-encompassing framework because I need to…
I use Django, but only for template inheritance and models - I pretty much leave the template language alone. 99% of the data from the server gets passed out as json.

#14I'm a cakePHP user. It has gotten and keeps getting a lot better as of recent, and I really like the community. I looked into codeigniter after using cakephp for a while and it just seemed to have a lot less to offer. I tried symfony too and it seemed alot more complex, unnecessarily so.
I'm currently dabbling in Rails and Django, but am going to put them down until I finish my current project, since there's nothing in either that I can't do in cake, as far as my project's requirements go.
These are also a lot less portable than the PHP frameworks, which I find is a big deal if ever you want to lengthen your runway with client work. It's MUCH harder to get a quick 2-5k on a small webpage when the client hears "change hosting".

I'll never understand why people use DoJo.
Its greatest strength are all the "widgets" i guess you'd call them. However they are all not created equal. Some are well polished and deliver acceptable performance levels and other times they are just demos and hacks.

#19Django. It was a toss up for me between Django and Rails but at the time, the updated Rails book was not out yet and the Django book was.
And Django has a magic pony. http://djangopony.com/

#20WebObjects. I don't like Java, or Eclipse, which makes it an odd choice, but it was Rails before Rails, and still has a lot of advantages over it. The ORM works hand-in-hand with the framework to do proper persistence, and while I rage against the tools sometimes, they're still better than being dumped back at a texteditor.
If only Apple would give it some more love, it'd be killer.
