I try and keep things static unless I have really good reason to do dynamically generated markup. There are still very good reasons for having a backend sometimes. There is a middle ground if you are primarily replacing a CMS though, which is using a static site generator like jekyll. This is something I learnt while working at [1] DevelopmentSeed. They also built a wonderful editor for github pages called [2] Prose.
