Just saying.

In the long term I suspect Md2blog will evolve to be little different to Jekyll.

The thing is that this cycle is important, because you can learn it when it's easy to learn and as it evolves. Jekyll has been very frustrating for me to learn because of all the accumulated cruft, even if it solves very real problems. Sometimes you just need to restart to get the new people on board.

My solution to scope creep was to put the "generic static site generator" part in a separate library (modeled after Metalsmith), so that I can leave md2blog as featureless as possible.
