Be careful with NetlifyCMS, it's not in active development, and there doesn't seem to be any appetite to pick it up currently. There are a few outstanding issues and deprecated dependencies too, so I'd advise caution.

One CMS that didn't make this list and which I genuinely love is Webiny. It's a serverless headless CMS, meaning you don't run it in a container or VM, instead it uses services from AWS like Lambda, DynamoDB and other services efficiently. That means it automatically sleeps when not in use, making it very cost effective. It's very customisable too.

Huh, I hadn't seen Webiny before. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I still think NetlifyCMS is good for making templates, since it has only a small level of extra work to get set up. But, that would be for simple blog templates, etc.
