I recently evaluated a bunch of static website builders to find the best one to create and manage a website for my app[0] which is hosted on Amazon S3. This was to replace a hand-coded HTML site.
I tried Harp, Wintersmith, Jekyll, Hugo and Gatsby.
After doing a few tests, I found that Jekyll was the best match for my uses. It seemed the most straightforward and flexible without being unnecessarily complex.
Creation of templates with custom content types was straightforward and templating didn't force the site into an overly specific HTML or directory structure.
Would recommend for similar product based or article sites. Personally haven't had any issues since migrating to Jekyll.
