That's like relying on a program to put your emails together for you, or a bot to make posts for you. It may be able to do it faster, but the results wont be as good.
Besides, it can easily be achieved on PHP with not much code. The first one took 6 hrs and the second one took just over a day to develop so there really is no point to using a framework which will bloat the thing and make it incompatible with most webservers (especially the free ones).
Another consideration is how much you would trust a big open project like ROR. Nearly every big web project I've ever seen has been hugely insecure on almost every level. Writing the code by hand, you can avoid a hell of a lot of problems.
