I tried out a ton of static site builders, including writing my own, before I gave up and landed on Ghost. From a tech standpoint, static sites are amazing. But when you think about it, it doesn't make sense to optimize for a simple tech stack, since that's a fixed cost. The unit-cost is the difficulty in writing and updating posts on your website. Writing in a font designed for code in a text editor on my computer and then committing and pushing to trigger a rebuild and deploy is significantly more overhead than logging into the ghost admin interface and creating a new post.
