I built one. I run a content website for a living so it was worth it. I wrote about why here: https://nicolasbouliane.com/projects/ursus

The short version: text files let you use powerful tools, not just the WYSIWYG editor supplied with your CMS. Navigating markdown files in Sublime Text is incredibly fast compared to clicking around in a PHP admin area. I can even write blog posts with Obsidian on my phone.

It also means a very simple, very fast server that runs forever without maintenance. You don't need much to serve static files.

Above all, it means source-controlled content and content branches. This is great for big changes that span multiple pages.
