Actually I'm using Django for my pet projects and I'm happy with it, but with all my honesty, if just grok would lack a bit less in terms of documentation (Django is fully documented instead) I would be with grok today. If it's true that Zope Component Architecture is initially hard to grasp it's also true that once you got it you are enabled to write well structured code that is ready to be extended/reused/maintained (isn't this a dream in the topten of us programmers?).
OTOH Django has something that grok will probably have just in the long period (hopefully): a vibrant, large and responsive *user* community.
Finally, I think that they both are great frameworks that worth a try, but IMHO the best choice is to mediate between them and use the best of which each one has to offer. At this aim, I'm actually trying to understand better zca and if it's possible to use it with django. At least in theory it should be possible and there is something about it on the web I'm going to read (http://www.stereoplex.com/two-voices/adapters-in-django-and-the-revenge-of-zope).

Hello, I'm in the same dilemma
