there's sinatra and padrino for the pick-and-choose way. rails expresses the philosophy that it's more productive to pick a stack and stick to it, and then let the ecosystem optimise itself against that stack. it's true that the ruby webdev community has tended to coalesce around rails rather than sinatra, but that's because the rails community has solved a lot of genuine real-world problems that keep cropping up in its target space and has been able to write them as libraries that will work with anyone's rails setup.
