New comment by mattkevan in "Gatsby raises $15M Series A for its modern web development platform"

Big fan of static site generators and the whole JAMStack idea in general - use Jekyll for all My sites, but after building a site with Gatsby, it felt too over-engineered.

React is great, and definitely has its place, but to set up React, GraphQL and all the surrounding tooling just to assemble some text files into a template felt like complexity for the sake of it.

For me, the fun of static sites - after years of building sites with CMSs like Wordpress and Drupal - is that they’re as close as possible to plain HTML, lightning-fast and very simple.
