I've used both, and I got a lot more flexibility and familiarity out of Middleman. It's built as a web application framework that saves all its rendered pages as HTML, so it feels more like setting up a Sinatra app than anything else. I felt like I was fighting Jekyll and its conventions, but merely configuring Middleman and its plugins. Looking at the config file for my personal site, it's got blog stuff, layout variables, helpers, markdown customization, and an asset pipeline all set up with an easy DSL. [1] IOW: use Jekyll for simplicity, use Middleman for control. [1] https://github.com/icambron/isaaccambron.com/blob/master/config.rb https://github.com/icambron/isaaccambron.com/blob/master/con...
