Having never tried it, I can't really say. I'm willing to at least seriously consider that the right dynamic language might be an excellent choice for certain big projects. For instance, I've been doing a good bit of playing around with Perl 6 this year. I think by this time next year Rakudo will be stable enough to make it an excellent choice for developing large projects where execution speed is not of the essence. But that's just a hypothesis, I certainly haven't done enough Perl 6 programming to feel confident in that yet.
