I just started using Goatcounter for a noncommercial site (music history research blog) and I'm happy with it. All I wanted was a glorified hit counter.

It doesn't have the goal conversion metrics and other advanced features of GA, so obviously not a drop-in replacement for all use cases.

Another very happy user here. Was super easy to add to my Jekyll site hosted on GH pages. I believe the creator is active here as well btw.

happy goatcounter user here to, for the same reasons as you say, way less complex than GA but it has more metrics I care about.
