Is there a better alternative though?

I was pretty disappointed at the options for a FOSS CMS when I last looked a year or so ago. Ghost looked good but is held back by the lack of a genuine plugin system.

If I were building a larger site, I'd probably use Drupal.

It's a bit of a departure from the "blogware" mindset though. You're not managing "posts" and "static pages". You're managing stuff. ...Which can manifest itself as pages or posts. Different kinds of content, different kinds of fields. Blogware gets hacky if you are posting anything but pages and posts, but in Drupal, every type of content is equally tweakable.
