Check out this interesting thread on the difference between Metalsmith and Gulp. Even though it's about Metalsmith (which is excellent), I think it's relevant to your thoughts: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23227248/is-there-some-gulp-plugin-that-lets-it-perform-the-function-of-a-static-site-gen/23858857?sgp=2#23858857
You can also find a lot of articles/tutorials etc on static site generators, organized by tool at http://www.thenewdynamic.org/ (a site of mine)
