Rails is awesome nothing comes close to being as fun and productive. Tried php and django, not bad but not Rails.

Can't agree more with this. I've used both, Rails since a few years ago and Django for about 8 years or so, and while I still like Django I think rails is far, far superior in every aspect. The only thing I like more from django is the migrations system (not even the ORM, just the migrations) and maybe the admin as a tool to browse the database. Other than that, Rails all day.

Yes the Django admin was cool, the Rails core team didnt want to bring something similar to Rails for reasons I dont quite remember..maybe its a shame

Have you tried Laravel?

Asking because I'm just curious about the comparison between the two

A bit, its ok. Im just a sucker for the combination between ruby and rails. php wont do it for me, but its a solid language.
