Eleventy is really terrific. I am able to build out my site either by leveraging a number of 'smart ways' to do it that all static site generators do ... templates, markdown to html... but I can also be lazy and custom write html/style per page, per directory, to get some art-directed type page out fast. I feel like there was a tiny learning curve with the docs to get from 0 to 10 ... but from 10 to whatever is really great fun.
