Lots of "don't reinvent the wheel" comments here. But if you're a developer, crafting a SSG for your own needs is a 2-3 hours project. Learning an existing one is roughly the same. But hey... it's a good opportunity to learn by doing, and even later appreciate other SSGs.

My own SSG is Django+Distill.

It's 2-3 hours for the first version. Then you want to add something to the website, and you find you don't have the feature for it, and need to spend another 2-3 hours. This repeats every time you're adding something and becomes a massive time sink. But if you don't mind, sure it's okay.
