I wrote my own because I don't like magic, reading a lot of documentation, and I hate templates. Using server side rendering with React is great! https://github.com/kentor/tiny-ssg
I did the same for a blog, except I went with a mak/sed/awk/pandoc combo and got lightning fast incremental builds. Previously I was hexo (listed in the article), it took longer to start than the current solution takes to finish. What made me drop hexo though was the breakages every time I tried to checkout and run on a different computer.
People can also say they don't like javascript and things built on top of that; React. And javascript is probably worse than magic.
Indeed! It also isn't for people who have "javascript fatigue." And they can use any of the 10 in the list by the OP.
