I agree. I also wrote two static site generators, two dynamic ones, and used a few prefabricated solutions.

Then I discovered that for my writing style, org-mode with embedded scripts and plotting code really just works. I don't have to think much and I can focus on just writing. That particular authoring/publishing tool never gets in the way of what I want to express.

So I ended up patching over parts of org-mode to make it my static site generator. Sometimes the best is somewhere in between the extremes.
