Padrino is the perfect framework for Djangonauts who want to learn a ruby web framework whilst also learning the language, which was my case 1 year ago. Especially those who don't like the "rails way".
It has most everything we love about Django: admin site, mountable apps (which I consider actually better than Django's), speed (it is as fast as Django in my benchmarks) plus a sane and flexible routing sytem, generators, localization, full support for various subframeworks and a much, much better configuration system (no global settings file!).

It is everything I wish Django was, but in Ruby.
