Why I built my own static site generator
I have an 84 line bash script that abuses find, sed and multimarkdown to generate a website with a blog, static pages, navigation and rss feed for the blog. The index page has a header and the last 5 blog entries ((Navigation between the blog entries is plain old basic javascript).(https://github.com/nicolasH/frankensteins)
You don't have to be on the Node treadmill to create a static site generator. You can use something stable!

Why I built my own static site generator
I built mine too, for similar reasons: it felt easier to write from scratch, so that my site looked the way I wanted it, than customize some of the existing solutions (Jekyll, Hugo, etc).
Sure it’s not customizable at all: it can only generate my site. And that’s fine. I like it that way.
For example: I sometimes translate poetry, and I have a bunch of code that renders individual poems from plaintext (not Markdown, because newlines and whitespace _are_ significant): https://github.com/nathell/nhp/blob/master/src/nhp/poems.clj
