Well, the op was quite offensive in the first place
> this is so incredibly over-engineered it's comical to me.
Isn't it fair that I defend the tool I work on after reading such comment?
The op can stick with its original tool and that's perfectly fine to me. Indeed Docusaurus might be overkill for many simple use-cases.
Does it mean it's over-engineered? Well, that's worth discussing. Some companies really need the features we provide.
Can you build something as advanced as some of the existing Docusaurus sites we showcase, using a simpler stack? That's an interesting discussion to have, but share some links.
Well, I don't see the offensive part here. As you say it yourself: "It might be overkill for many simple use-cases." Period. No need to jump into every thread where a user says that it is just too much for her use case, and you asking for links to compare the output (as you did with me as well?).
Just be happy with what you created and the showcases prove the demand for it. So?
Well, we don't have at all the same definition of what "offensive" means then.
> where a user says that it is just too much for her use case
That's not at all what the op said, just a 2nd reminder:
> > this is so incredibly over-engineered it's comical to me.
The op said it's over-engineered, in general, not for her use-case

I am happy with the result and I won't be affected too much by comments from people that criticize what we've built without giving it a try. Now I keep the right to defend the tool when it's criticized this way.
