I concur! I recently hosted my client's Django site with WebFaction and have been absoluteley impressed by their customer service and technical help.

Webfaction definitely know what they're doing. No BS and like everyone is saying, great support. In addition to some Django sites I also host a Plone /Zope site with them and they do a great job there as well. Just being able to find a host that supports Plone is great.

Can you confirm what they're like speed-wise? (I presume they must be faster than Dreamhost.....) Plus, do you get full shell access, or is the Django stuff managed in some clever way?

The Django stuff is managed a little bit. Basically you use a web control panel to associate a Django instance with a domain. THis sets up a directory and some basic paths. Then you use full shell access to set up your project, modify all Apache settings (you get your own instance) and access the database etc...
First time around I experimented with how much control I have. Turns out, alot. Just takes time to figure out what you can mess with. THe forums are absolutely essential if you want to get started.
I now administer all my sites purely from shell. Only access control panel to add domains.
