My mother for example does this. She’s writing her travel blog in Botswana, where internet connectivity is not a given and often spotty. She uses middleman as static site generator, hosted on an S3 bucket. That gives her the option to write the post, check it, commit and upload it. If the push doesn’t go through, try again (another day or hour sometimes). Try doing that with hosted wordpress.
We do it for our company website. Markdown makes it easy to have a pull-request-based workflow for reviews. It’s neat and uses the tools we as developers are used to. Another advantage is that the end result is static pages. We can literally host them anywhere, though we’re currently using netlify for convenience. They don’t need security patches either.
Does that make it superior to hosted WordPress? For our needs: yes. For other people’s needs? Don’t know.
