As a frontend developer it was a great experience to start with. It is like a big webpack project tailored and optimized for static websites. The doc is delightful and I never been stuck too long.
As a visitor, the experience is great too, very fluid.
On the other hand, my community manager, as a non dev user, finds it slow and complicated in comparaison of Wordpress or other main stream solution.
Indeed I try to plug it with the Netlify CMS, the only solution I found with no DB. At a result, it takes two minutes to compile when you just want to fix a typo and more when you handle multiple articles/modules.
I would love to see a complete ecosystem/ci pipleline based on gatsby with immediate feedback like we are used to see on other classic solutions.
For now, I am not sure to reuse it if the end user will be a non coder.
Indeed, it's not a platform for bloggers out of the box. I've tried Netlify CMS too and I share your opinion: I wouldn't recommend it for non-dev users. Have you tried any cloud-based solutions, such as prismic.io or contentful?
BTW, great project you have +1

I built my project (pro.wizar.world) website on it (source at github.com/dagatsoin/wizar-pro-web...).
