https://ghost.org/ blogs are really awesome. It's Node.js based, simple to install. I don't like static generators, that authoring experience is just not for me.
I use Ghost for my site http://tedium.co, and I've been able to do some interesting things with it. I like the flexibility it offers without the cruft of WordPress.
That said, I do sometimes look longingly at static site generators and wonder what's on the other side.
Ghost for me as well [1]. I like the UI and how lightweight it is vs something like WordPress. I also like being able to make quick content tweaks without redeploying like with a static site generator.
