This is the sort of cargo-culty FUD criticism people often bring up about Rails. So many programmers would rather reinvent the wheel, badly, than learn how to use existing products and focusing on their USPs.

What would your successor prefer when they take over: Bob's ad-hoc framework built from the ground up where they don't know how anything works, or some app implemented on top of a framework they've used in 10 other jobs?

While I agree that using frameworks like rails/django/hanami/react has an upfront cost, it's so hard to justify doing your own thing if your usecase is fits within what they offer.

Hanami 2.0 is almost completely rewrite in it's core from 1.3, and it took over 3 years. I could not imagine companies relying on owned frameworks - maintaining it, documenting it, educating people to work with them - it's just too expensive.
