I haven't read everything but why isn't the source like 10 lines if that's all it does?

Reading the source, it also has a built-in web server (based on Python's SimpleHTTPServer) and a file watcher to automatically rebuild the site.
So the watcher only writes files that have been edited unless there is a change to one of the repeated tag files?
I think it rebuilds the whole site - I don't see any logic for identifying the changed file and rebuilding only that.
Easy to use does not have anything to do with the underlying codebase.
