I see you points, but many of them are not valid:

> - Most tutorial suggesting Amazon S3/CDN/cloud etc. Well those service are inaccessible to many.

Because you just need to serve static content, there are more options than for Wordpress, incl. Google and Github.

> - Write new post, generate, upload...complicated!

Not at all:

    1. Create a new post: rake new_post["title"]
    2. Edit using your favorite editor
    3. Sync: rake deploy
> - Lets embed image/audio/video with one-click...nope!

There are tags for that, i,e, {% img /img/pic01.png %}

> - Lets edit old blog post... oh why art thou so hard

You can edit any post. They are in folders sorted by year and month.

> - Lets try it on my phone, nope!

Correct.

Conclusion: Blogging this way seems complicated, but is isn't if you are really doing it. Please try it for sake of a faster and safer Internet.
