>Django's routing is really verbose. You have to specify each route you want. Rails has a bunch of shortcuts for common cases (REST as well as :controller/:action/:id). In a way, this is just the explicit vs. implicit thing. Django makes you explicitly state your URLs while Rails will let you state them, but you don't have to should you like the defaults. The Django folk say that it takes very little time to write routes (true) and that one should be thoughtful when making URLs (also true). But sometimes it just feels tedious. Really, it's just a matter of preference.

Don't forget globs. They're freaking awesome.
