I use and love Gatsby. I've written a couple of articles about it:

Offsite link to more general post about why Gatsby is so great

Gatsby is so easy to work with if you are already a React developer. Everything is exactly where you expect it to be, and you can use whatever npm packages you like. It's got great SEO settings out of the box. And the documentation is no joke - everything just works.

I also cannot get over how awesome the combination of Gatsby + Netlify + Github is. You push new code to master and Netlify will pick it up and automatically deploy your site. That is freakin' awesome. It also supports previews for feature branches. I can't tell you how nice it is not to bother with DevOps on personal projects.
