Ditto... I really enjoy Django's ORM (makes the trivial tasks dead-easy and steps out of the way when needed) and would like to know if it can be even better by borrowing ideas from ActiveRecord.

I think they already borrowed from one another quite extensively. As they're now both mature I would be surprised if there was much between them.

There are very few situations where you'd need or want ActiveRecord to step out of the way, and in general Rails does a lot more for you.
