That's not good even if somebody is very proficient in the language. Custom projects not founded on some fairly common framework are always a nightmare. Business owners should forbid developers to go that route unless they have a permanent in house development team. And still, it should be the exception, not the rule.
Would you like to work on a custom-built project of someone else, decent-sized, in a language you grasp poorly?
Because that's what your "small, light system, out of large frameworks" will look like to someone who dabbles in ruby/rails and looks for a job (most of the force never reaches mastery, let alone wants to).
