1) Rails is more popular than Django. Rails was the first MVC web framework, and it has been embraced by the startup community for it's ease of prototyping applications. Because of this and the high-profile successes of major companies using Rails (such as Twitter) more people interested in learning to code are guided towards Rails as the first framework to learn.
2)I also suspect that the Rails community is more design-oriented than most other communities and so have pulled some designers, and front-end devs into the community
