I've worked quite a lot with both Java and Python and with Play and Django, and before I tried Play I would've agreed with you.
The lightweight nature of Play combined with the speed of the jvm (compared to Python), static typing and IDE support, makes it a winner in my book. I like vim, but wherever I click in a Play project (including in routes, property files and templates), I always end up where I need to be.
