As a frontend Developer, i need to use to build many static websites as prototypes or as full website templates. Usually i use middleman and jekyll. I use middleman more than Jekyl because i need a static website more than a blog or more advanced static websites.
Later i found some issues in using Middleman, after a long use, i usually repear most of the components, so i feel, react will be a good choise, so i can reduce my time. Also there are many issues in middleman, i need to use gulp for javascript contents, they removed some features from middleman. Middleman livereload is very slow also. Last point, Middleman is mature but use almost old features, i use the same for last 2 year, there're no mind blowing features. So i started to search for a good static website generator, modern and feature rich.
Mature and most popular static websites, written using Ruby. Most of the git-hub pages use this framework. You can even find templates in ThemeForest
