Most people would be fine with a static site generator like Jekyll and a third-party commenting system like Facebook or Disqus. As a bonus, it costs pennies to host such a thing on S3.

I'm not necessarily here to defend WordPress, but, I agree, a compiled static site does make sense for the HN user's blog, but you're not typical. What about the neighborhood barbershop that needs a website and likes to self-publish blog articles a couple times a week? What's the best solution for them?

I'd love to see a user-friendly GUI backed by Jekyll.

We in technology are not "most people".

Anyone who can manage a WordPress install should be able to get Jekyll working, but I'd like to see it get a user-friendly GUI that takes care of the grunt work.
