I agree with the difficulty in using SSG and the friction that deploying them creates (especially when you have to update something on all posts). Having used a few SSG in the past, I have now been using Ghost regularly and greatly enjoy it (the live-view next to "markdown"-view is very well done). The hosted version of Ghost is amazingly simply to use. Sign up and publish. Done. The download and self-host is a bit more difficult, but nothing any tech-savy person shouldn't be able to figure out. To me, the simplicity of Ghost is the best feature and trumps any missing features.
