Pros:

• useful for small websites
• there's no backend, just an editor to add/edit/delete pages
• API for developers to write plugins and make bigger sites
• requires minimal knowledge of PHP, no need to learn Twig
• free and open source

Cons:

• no WYSIWYG editor yet
• there are not many themes out-of-the-box
• there's no backend and probably never will

I am one of the designers, very interested to get more feedback. What made me personally interested in flat-file CMS was simplicity. Didn’t want to learn a big framework, didn’t want to spend a lot of time in configuration, rather looking for something that is Dropbox friendly and useful for small websites.

Hey, I just found about Yellow, it doesn't seem to e very famous, but you can add posts and edit pages from the front-end using a simple login, I wonder why there aren't more tools like that!

Have a look at Yellow

Pros:

• it's made for small websites

You can customize most things in content files: title, author, language, dates, tags, templates and CSS style. The content itself is Markdown, so people who write articles don't have to learn HTML. It's free and open source.

Check out Yellow. You can make your website with PHP, Markdown and create static pages. There's no need for caching with static pages, your web server or content distribution network can use them directly.
