Static sites..
Combining the worst parts of static site user experience[1] with the worst parts of dynamic site administration[2].
[1] None of the potential benefits of a dynamic site, like searching and interactivity (not that they are always needed, but that IS the few things that dynamic sites are actually good for).
[2] Instead of the end-deliverable files, which are forever and have zero dependencies (like a true static site), you get additional infrastructure dependencies like you do on a dynamic site (your generator tool, simple as it may be, still has more dependencies than zero, it is, at the very least, a dependency in and of itself).
