Two words, and it applies to pretty much all of the programmatic
static site builders: arcane theming. I looked into Jekyll and Nikola
and a few others and the theming stuff was just terrible, particularly
if I'm writing in Asciidoc. Any given page's structure is already
created once passed through asciidoctor. Why, then, also pass it all
through an HTML template and some horridly documented CSS theme
engine?

Also, none of them support (well) a static __site__ with a blog
section. They're all blogs first, which is not nearly as useful for my
purpose. Many make it terribly difficult to set a static landing page
instead of a blog index. All I need is six or eight static pages with
a small, rarely updated, blog section. I have thought about org-mode
for the blog section and asciidoc for everything else...
