I wanted to remove the maintenance and patching of the application and infrastructure from myself. Mainly so I could focus on content.

Performance was a big factor of me giving it a go. I used to use WordPress and was tired of having to use plugins for everything useful (like SEO).

I also like that I can write in markdown, which WordPress doesn't (or didn't at the time) do.

I do, however, find it expensive for my audience size. That's why I'm looking at options at the moment.
