Yes, but.  I moved to Jekyll from Wordpress, and removing the
dependency on a database to store everything means you can use version
control and Git.

My flow:
* Files are markdown files in a folder
* Create new or modify a modify a markdown file to add a blog post
* Run the jekyll run to compile and launch a local server 
  * I use a Makefile
* When happy with the results, rync compiled folder to main server
* RSS feeds and common headers are all handled

Pelican is similar, but uses Python instead of Ruby.  I'm not a Mac
person, but I just started using Jekyll first, and I use it as a
utility, so the language doesn't much matter.

Stats are handled by Google or whatever.  Comments could use Discus or
similar.
