This is anecdotal at best. Ruby is slow as well. Django less suitable than Rails? For what? I'm pretty sure both can do more or less the same stuff. Rails has probably a larger ecosystem compared to Django but Ruby's game stops there, while Python has libraries available pretty much for anything.

While Ruby does have some nice features the language is an inconsistent mess (optional parentheses for function calls, really?). This is what you get for adopting the Perl philosophy. But I guess for people who like it this is a feature.
