I was checking out Pelican and seriously started converting my Jekyll based site but disliked many aspects of it:
1. Too much magic - The site structure is completely changed by Pelican in the generated output. For example if you have pictures stored inside the blog subdirectory, it has to be moved out to a common place. Another common place must be defined for blog posts. 2. Template system was a tad too complex. Overall, pelican has some good ideas and is being actively developed. But it is not really suitable for a power user.
