I've been using Statamic for a few months now. I've often worked with Laravel, so I tend to really like Statamic. The static content by default feature means you can skip a database altogether if you'd like. Theming and content management is a little bit more of a learning curve, but so much more powerful than something like Wordpress. I do have one complaint. It can be remarkably difficult to learn how to use Statamic properly. The documentation is a bit lacking. I often struggle to find a solution to a blocker only to find out there's a simple solution that wasn't documented very well. I think this is one of those things that will likely improve as the community continues to grow and mature.

Unrelated but that landing page is probably one of the best I've read and seen.

Source available (?) and licenses get expensive quick it looks like (?) When I last did my survey of what I could use as a CMS I ran into this, looked at the licensing and walked away quickly. But I may be wrong since I didn't do any more research, .

  Source available yes. There is platform licensing starting at $7 per month per site. Prices are comparable to Wordpress + Jetstream + ACF which is functionality you get out of the box with Statamic.

    The price of $7 license is only available at a 25 site minimum that makes the minimum cost $175 per month around $2100 yer year. For a pro license it's $275 upfront with 1 year of updates per site. That is damn exception from my point of view. You can use Pods for free on WordPress which is now a better choice than ACF in my opinion. But ACF has a huge marketshare and is better supported. I mean not sure about JetStream, it seems to be Laravel scaffolding and open source. Do you mean JetPack? If so I have not used that in a very long time. It had become very bloated. There are a lot of other choices ut there som that cost less.
