Gatsby suits React developers building content-rich websites and choosing among static, deferred or server-side rendering. Its plugins and CMS integrations support a range of site types and content sources.
Nanoc suits developers building anything from a personal blog to a corporate website who prefer a command-line, filesystem-based workflow. It may fit teams that need metadata-driven content, multilingual output, or custom processing.
