He's not wrong, but you have a point. imo the reason I don't like Django as much is that there's not one way to do one thing like with python ie it's not convention over configuration. That said, it's still a good, mature framework and unlike Rails, upgrades aren't going to break your app (even though migration in Rails is easy as long as you do it often). Also it's nice to have a dominant framework in Python. Just wish it had the same philosophy as Python.
