Defending the app/site split notion here...
While this is obviously not the entire case and Django is a fantastic general purpose web framework, lemme just say this:
When using much of the django middleware, django.db.models, generic views, django.contrib and quality third party "apps" ( http://djangoplugables.com/ ), it's pretty close to the perfect "CMS".
And that's not a bad thing at all, it's just not the direction Rails has ever, or probably will ever, go.
Also, let me reiterate what I said above: this is obviously not the entire case and Django is a fantastic general purpose web framework.
