This is not the case, not by far. nanoc is aimed at building complex sites and hence has a lot more features than Stasis. Some examples:

- Items can contain arbitrary metadata in nanoc

- You can trivially build multiple representations of a single item in nanoc (e.g. a PDF/txt/html representation of a single markdown file)

- Dependency tracking in nanoc is fully automatic (no need to specify priorities)

- Nanoc is easily extensible using custom filters, custom deployers, custom helpers and more

Statis and nanoc have a different audience. To me, Stasis seems to be aimed at simpler, smaller sites, while nanoc is aimed at much more featureful sites. It is a good thing to have a lot of documentation (nanoc is frequently cited as a good example of how documentation should be handled).
