I use wordpress.
add a plugin from the repo "simply static" - generate the html files.
download, then ftp.
It's not elegant and lean like the others - but it's saved me a ton of time for the use cases I've used it for.
There is another decent static generator in the repo, but it failed on a recent site I was trying yesterday, so it's not on my currently using list.
I know it's possible to put wp dynamic files on a server and use a domain mapping plugin to generate files for a bunch of domains on the same server easily - could probably find someone smarter than me to add in this simply static plugin and mod it to shoot the files to the sub domains...
then just install a bunch of themes and other plugins to the main install - and might be kind of heavenly for a lot of situations.
Some of my wp sites need contact forms - so I'm leaving those live / dynamic. If it was easier to make and upload something like the coffee cup form builder files I'd convert a few more sites to static files this week.
If someone found a way to use the wordpress themes with these other generators it would be awesome. Then it would just be the few sites that need the extra plugins power that really need the wordpress php files and such. One can dream.
