Ghost, maybe?
I've stopped recommending the self-hosted (wordpress.org) version to non technical people (even if it's a 1 click hosting platform), because there are just too many things that can go wrong, particularly with plugins.
As a developer, my experience with Statamic and Laravel has been joyful, compared to WP.
I did this for a few friends, hosted them on my server, set up Wordpress. Worked for some but most found even Wordpres too complicated. I sent to them to Squarespace and they're happy with that, albeit paying a hefty enough monthly fee after the initial trial period. Not my problem though! washing my hands
I last used it in 1., and picked it up 2 weeks ago when I found myself needing a headless CMS.
I got a sense from the new features since 1. that it's moving towards a membership system which might not be relevant for many websites.
In terms of an editor and a way to expose content, is good enough; but like I say with more developers, this could bring more hands to implement stronger plugin systems and improve the core editing options.
