If that works for you, great! But just because you’re not the target audience doesn’t mean it’s silly.

I just have a simple site, but I know I don’t want to write my content in HTML. I just want to write it in Markdown and be on my way. Having yaml frontmatter for metadata and markdown for the body let’s me keep my content separate from my templates.

On the other end of the spectrum are larger organizations like Borisfx.com building large multimedia static sites. Or hell, look at the Forestry.io website and then tell me a few simple templates made by hand would suffice.
