My impression is that tools that grew complex only because they want to serve every use case under the son got obsoleted by AI, and static site generators like Hugo are a good example.
Today, if I were setting up a blog to host just some text and images, a vibe-coded SvelteKit project using the static adapter[1] would easily solve every single problem that I have. And I would still be able to use the full power of the web platform if I need anything further customized.
