And since Computer Geeks are the ones making all the tools, of course there's 100 times more of these "superior" geeky tools than there are tools for the common man.
The fact that I have to struggle to find just a simple WYSIWYG GUI to edit a website for static site generation is nuts. It's not like these are particularly advanced tools that are technically incompatible with static site generation. It's just that computer people would rather hand-craft a website with Markdown and CSS code than compose visually appealing content using a mouse without code.
It seems nobody is creating technology that is both simple and easy to use, it's always one or the other.
