Static site generators are so simple and powerful it blows my mind that anyone would suggest plain html is a suitable replacement unless your site is like 5 pages. They're so simple to build too, so if you're miffed about bloat you could throw together a simple md -> html system in a few hours, if not minutes.

- bigstrat2003 2y agoPlain HTML is pretty simple and powerful too. I don't really have a dog in the fight because I don't have a website, but I don't think it's unreasonable that some might find it easier to just write HTML by hand.
