Yeah nah, for me it's exactly that: plain html/js/css files. For simple things, I copy/paste.. not a big deal.
If it's getting more complicated, I'll abort and upgrade to rails to use layouts etc.
The middle ground of static site generators are a trap in my personal opinion.
If I need to add a feature, I've found it's easier for me to implement it directly rather than try mess around configuring a static site generator with plugins etc.
