Sure it's great to be able to leverage the Wordpress backend but, have you seen this new trend of statically generating the whole site? What's your opinion?

Hey Alex, I think static generators are great depending on the site!

Are you talking about using WordPress but outputting a static version of the WordPress site? Or just axing WordPress altogether?

I was talking about axing WordPress. But IT IS a problem, because, while I like the static generation idea: is straightforward, no server needed, etc… it is not easy to integrate your editors into the workflow.

Yeah, I've heard of some pretty elaborate setups for tying editors into a static workflow.
