In Rails, it's a bit easier making web apps because AJAX is built in with RJS and helpers. With Django, you choose your own Javascript framework and do it yourself. Which isn't a bad thing at all, I actually prefer Django's way.
With Django, it's easier making web sites because of the built in automatic admin interface. It's production ready. With Rails, you have a lot of plugins/generators to choose from which does the same thing though (which again, isn't a bad thing at all).
Honestly though, Rails/Django users have created plugins/apps to extend their favorite framework, so it's really easy to make websites AND web apps with both now.
