I rolled my own for my current blog (at epiccoleman.com). I wrote a post about it, which honestly isn't that interesting, since it basically just amounts to writing posts in regular old html.
I did use Tailwind for styling, mostly because I was interested in learning more about it.
I use PrismJS for styling code blocks, and it works very well. No complaints there.
The thing I like about "just use HTML" is that it ultimately affords a ton of flexibility if I ever want to embed some interesting layout or little JavaScript demo. A good example of this is this explainer section from a post I wrote about SVG. I'm proud of how this turned out and it wouldn't have been possible to make it look as good as it does without just manually writing the markup (scroll to "Understanding SVG", I don't think I put an anchor on the heading unfortunately):
