With programmer-friendly blogs/CMS's such as Hyde or Jekyll, I see less and less reason for database-backed solutions and their overhead, at least for the solitary writer/coder on his own site. Previously dynamic parts like comments, pingbacks, and search can all be outsourced (e.g. Disqus for comments). And on top of speed and simplicity, it also seems to me that such systems offer a killer-advantage: the use of real version control systems with one's content. Does anyone disagree?
