What options are left if you need a simple website builder that's not

a) Wordpress, which is a swamp filled with mines in the form of plugins b) Wix, which forces hosting and bad HTML on you

Basically I want a Wordpress-like frontend + the rich template ecosystem and for it to spit out static HTML files.

There are many solutions out there that can generate static sites from a WordPress installation. For example, you can use gatsby.js to generate a static site using WordPress as data source.

Just to clarify for myself, this person asked for alternatives that are not WordPress and Wix and you're recommendation is to use WordPress?

My point if if you want wordpress ecosystem but don't want the associated risk, there are many ways to generate static websites from a wordpress installation. You can run wordpress locally in your local development computer and only host the generated static html in your server/hosting provider.

Not a web developer, but Grav CMS is pretty neat.
