I think a reason Jekyll is popular is because it's relatively simple to update & use once it's running. Since it's also just static HTML via your web-server, it's also significantly more secure (no app code to exploit).

That, and it's fast. Serve it with nginx and you'll endure traffic magnitudes larger than even a tweaked WP install can on a small VPS.



Not to mention there are many (good!) free options for hosting it (due to the lack of a database): heroku, github, etc.


Also S3 now that you can host static websites there.
