Can you list a few? I'm genuinely curious which ones you consider so much better.

What your requirements? With Google rendering JavaScript any static site generator is probably going to be better. If you need crud functionality any number of hosted and open source crud providers are available. Or just use a hosted site builder. They are all better at this point.

  Static site generators are just fine for personal blogs. They don't fit the bill at all when you have a group of people all writing on one blog and you need things like access controls and media file management. Also, not sure why google rendering JavaScript would have any effect on static site generators.

    That's why I said it depends on the needs. Read. Stop blindly defending garbage. You can use version control with a static site generator. Otherwise there are hundreds of crud interfaces to edit content with a group that a far superior to WordPress. JavaScript rendering is if your use case requires dynamically generated content. Again, read. It's based on your needs. Whereas you are defending WordPress because your(not your client's) bank account depends on it. Which I consider very unethical.

      Not really defending word press, just pointing out that it has its use cases and the solutions you responded with don't cover them. Have you used Wordpress? It's interface is far from garbage and it's plugin ecosystem is plentiful. You seem pretty upset about someone choosing wordpress but you haven't done a very good job of articulating why it's bad and what other competitors are out there that are better (no, saying "any other crud editor" does not qualify and only seems to prove how much you don't understand about the use cases of word press) Edit: for what it's worth, I don't have "clients" and my bank account isn't at all tied to using word press. No idea where you got that from.

    You can use SSGs with GitHub for multi-author blogs. Prose.io makes a nice writing interface for GitHub content. If you hook it up to something like Travis CI, the site can be regenerated automatically on GitHub commits. It's a bit complicated compared to just running a WordPress instance, but it works pretty well.

I run https://ghost.org/ https://ghost.org/ inside a Docker container and I'm quite happy with it.
