Is it wrong to suggest and admit that I write on my blog in plain HTML? How often do people refactor their designs and links? In PyCharm, I can do Regex search/replace and it gets the job done if I ever need to change the template (which hasn't happened in last 4 years). Not a single minute spent on searching for the right framework, reading docs, setting it up, dockerizing the app, and perhaps even building CI/CD for automatic deployment.

Simple is better IMO. Just calculate the ROI and time spent on it and in next 10 years how often you'll be changing stuff in terms of template or links (Neither should change - Design is not fashion and links should be relative).

I also have complete 100% control over the page. I adapt it for a particular content if its got more pictures and less text for example. It's so easy and beautiful. There is a kind of zen-like aspect to it.

It is not wrong if you are the sole author of a blog. It might start to become wrong once you involve additional authors like a technical writer, someone in marketing, etc. And if you intend to pull data from a spreadsheet, github repo, or other source then you're going to either want a framework or start building your own similar build utilities.

Sounds like it works great for you!

However, scale that out to 3000 pages with a bunch of dynamic features, with many other developers and authors. You might find it a bit harder to manage then.
