I feel SSGs solved exactly the correct problem: enabling storing posts in version control, using whatever editor you prefer to write them, and a very quick feedback loop through a live preview. This enables much more elaborate posts to be written. I recently wrote a long article on JavaScript promises[1] that I can't even imagine trying to tackle in say WordPress. I use Wintersmith[2] for my blog and it was a key factor in creating such a long post [1]http://mattgreer.org/articles/promises-in-wicked-detail/ http://mattgreer.org/articles/promises-in-wicked-detail/ [2]http://wintersmith.io/ http://wintersmith.io/
