I picked Pelican for similar reasons. All my prior experiences eventually led me to wanting to change some aspect of the blog software, but they were always in languages I didn't know. So I picked Pelican.
In the years since, I write code to get my desired output via Pelican probably once every few years, but it's totally been worth it to have that option. I really got sick of "Let's search to see if someone's written a plugin that does exactly what I need." And then to have the plugin broken with an upgrade.
