My site is static too. I had... uh... a bad experience with Wordpress about 7 years ago.

I think most competent professionals know that you should use static sites when you can get away with them. Look how many static site generators there are:

(You can also go look and find all the tools that will render a static site from a hidden Wordpress install).

To me, Vixie's take here is not very interesting, nor is it very useful. If you're the type of person to learn something from an ACM post, and you have a dynamic site, chances are it's dynamic because it needs to be.

But then I'm a little biased towards reading this article as a "get off my lawn" piece, and that's not very fair either.
