Because sometimes it's fun, and when you're doing it for personal projects it's up to you what route you want to go down. Wordpress or Ghost would be valid choices, too.
I imagine there are people out there who would find it easier to get a Next / React blog setup than to work with Jekyll, because they're familiar with JS and have never heard of or touched Ruby.

- azemetre 6y agoHas the 11ty community gotten better at tutorials and adoption materials? One of the reasons why I went with gatsby is that there are many blogs about how to add tags to your site, i18n, etc? One of the issues I had with 11ty in the past was that it was hard to get started. At least with gatsby they provide a guided experience with a bunch of community content to get you through.
- pier25 6y agoNot sure about now, I haven't messed with it in almost a year. In general I found it straightforward but I had a couple of headscratching moments and the docs weren't super helpful.
