Regarding the Windows build: I just installed it, post-install size is 69.1MB. I feel like a factor of two means my point about emacs not being that big still stands :)

Static builds also pose somewhat of a problem when it means I have to rebuild all the dependencies for every update... I've run into this on Arch when clearing out makedeps for hard drive space (those 50 packages probably aren't all hard deps but I don't want to go against the will of my package manager). I know this is a solvable issue, I just wish it was easier.

Also, I recognize the issues it poses here, but syntax highlighting inheriting from font-lock is one of my favorite things about the HTML exporter.

EDIT: Accidentally duplicated a predicate by duplicating a predicate.

EDIT2: I'll just expand my response

The whole-page templating thing is a problem I've been trying to work around myself, but I've had too much fun thinking about it to actually get started on anything. At some point writing another HTML exporter feels kinda mundane and I get the idea that I need to work on a ConTeXt exporter since it hasn't been done before.

I like Markdown's syntax more than that of org-mode, but I don't like the lack of standardization. I kinda wish all the (popular) flavors were a subset of Pandoc Markdown so as to keep compatability... But that's never going to happen.
