I have a bit of an internal struggle here. I use a site generator too but I struggle with the question, should I? I recently wrote about why I’m writing pure html and CSS in 2025.
I'm not sure how using a static site generator would run counter to any of those points. You can simply generate the same website that you've written by hand.
EDIT: Well perhaps the "build steps" one, but building my Hugo site just involves me running "hugo" in my directory.
