I've never used a static site builder in any language, but I'd be tempted to use this. The only problem I see is that, off the top of my head, I can't think of a use for all these extra features. What sort of use cases do people use these generators for (outside of the blogs some have mentioned)?

I've built a minimal "online presence" website for a friend's business with nanoc. It does not need any dynamism, since basically it's just: home, contacts page, directions page and products page (unlikely to change more than once a year).

It has the side effect against a joomla install or whatever that if he wants to change something I have to do it for him, but since this event is pretty rare and non time sensitive it's not a big deal.
