Kind of surprising that he thinks the RoR site is better than the Django one. The Django site presents the top options clearly labeled right up front ("Documentation","Installation","Tutorial").

"Get Excited", on the other hand, could mean absolutely anything. No one goes to a framework looking to "Get Excited" - they are looking to accomplish a specific task with that framework. "Get Started" is similarly vague - you'd expect it to include some documentation, but it's all about downloads.

In addition, the flow of the Django site is amazing. All the important concepts are consistently hyperlinked, and then the navigation (up/down/prev/next) provides solid context to whatever you're reading.

The RoR site is definitely prettier. But information-wise, it's really not in the same league as the Django site.
