I came to write the same thing. I use org-mode + Jekyll and it couldn't get any less complicated. It's not slow and not badly designed either, IMO.

A counter-argument: if you already love your blogging platform, you're probably not in OP's target market anyway.

However, if you agree with the headline, you're definitely in the market for what Blot provides.

Really appreciate the feedback. Will come up with some alternatives to this copy to test.

I think you'd be better off to just drop the statement completely. The line below it reads, "Blot is the simplest way to blog." That's short, clear, and tells the visitor why he/she should be interested.
