yeah, same here. After trying a dozen of these "simple" static hosting tools, I always go back to Wordpress , and recently, Ghost.
The problem with static tools os, they are only simple if you write 5-6 blogs (in total). Once you start writing more often, the lack of a good editor, styling becomes painful.
You can bash Wordpress all you want, its still the best way if you just want to focus on content without jumping thru a lot of hoops.
My personal blog has almost 400 posts[0] and I'm using Jekyll (another static site generator). I find writing in my code editor to be the path of least resistance. It lets me quickly write drafts as I'm working without breaking my flow and writing Markdown feels good. Jekyll supports live reloading too so after I save a post the browser auto-reloads with the new content in about 2 seconds.

This depends on what you're used to.
