It has a straightforward documentation, which is indeed beautiful and includes a comment section just at the bottom of every page.

Hexo often considered as the common descendant of Ghost, but with the tweak of better user expericne and minimalism. It also helps you to get up and run as fast as possible. Hexo is the most designer friendly system for creating lightweight blogs as well.

Punch is one of the common Node.js static site generators that claim to be easy for use by both the engineers and the developers. It is easy to set up Punch, but it is able to give you more than a blank page when you start working with it. You can find a basic starter theme for that and just like other static site generators, Punch will not offer their user with any custom plugin system. Rather it prefers to rely on the npm to install alternative CSS pre-processors, JavaScript libraries and so on.

DocPad is having a simple to switch template system, pre-processor, or to include JavaScript libraries. Their plugin system is extensive.
