Conclusion

 

There are certain advantages of not using a database like faster loading, higher security, version Control
easy maintenance, portability, lesser spending on server and georedundancy in case of only HTML-Javascript-CSS based CMS.

Basically, with down going cost of server ( You can read our other articles – Aruba Cloud 1 GB RAM VMWare instance at 1 Euro/month, VPSDime 6 GB RAM OpenVZ instance at $7/month, cheap dedicated servers), it is probably meaningless to hunt behind somewhat “hobby projects” with very less user base beyond personal website or a project website.

How many users most known Jekyll and OctoPress has? WordPress is actually practical for various reasons. The above projects are good but it is probably good to think what not to develop to not waste time. It is better to contribute to the existing projects rather than starting a new, very close another one.
