Two other major advantages of static site generators.
First, security, particularly compared to wordpress.
Second, you can host the resulting HTML anywhere, for instance, a subdirectory of a web server you don't want to write a blog engine for. my corporate site is powered by Nitrogen (Erlang) and I just whipped out a Jekyll template this week for the blog we're adding - then we can host the blog under that site without having to go write a blog framework in Erlang.
