Sometimes redeveloping from scratch is a good idea, we have done it a few times. However when selecting which language or framework to use you need to bear in mind things like available skills (i.e. people around that can code in that language or framework). RoR, unfortunately, does not have as big a developer pool available as PHP has. Even if you got a good PHP developer who hasn't used symfony before, symfony is not that complex to learn.
Also, bear in mind that languages do not force developers into good practices. You can right an app badly in RoR just as easily as you can with PHP+symfony. Basically, you need to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of platforms, tools, etc. You may think RoR is a cleaner and more cutting edge language to use but the difficulty and cost of getting good developers for it may outweigh those benefits.
