Another Jekyll fan chiming in. It was a good sign for me that it's not super-actively maintained, yet still commands a strong following in an arena with fairly low switching costs. Out of the box, it has most things you want and very little that you don't.
Principle 1 on the Jekyll philosophy is 'no magic', and that's why I love it. It tends to behave as expected, and what it provides is simple enough that I maintain a feeling of full control over the output. I've wrote some little bits of JS to add minor client-side enhancements, and the Jekyll plugin system is easy to dive into if you want to add some site-render features. Great tool.
Kudos to the author for putting something up for discussion. Replace the word 'The' with 'My' in the title and it's a nice exploration of where React tooling for static sites is at.
Keep publishing and sharing mate, you're good at telling a story and have more good content ahead of you.
