I use a static-site generator. It can be fun to tinker around with (it's a personal blog, I don't need to develop to some deadline), the friction of "generate, upload" isn't that high, and it's easy to find free hosting for the static content.

I guess the "stack" part of that becomes how easy it is to add on bells and whistles which don't come out of the box. I'd chalk that up to "fun to tinker with".
