What about wordpress. It’s weird,it’s somewhat clunky, but it’s easy to set up and put content out.

It’s got plugins for everything which is a blessing and a curse.

The problem is you require a theme to start and choosing one makes is hard.

This is beginning to change with the new Gutenberg editor and it's Full Site Editing, which is basically a site builder.

Not necessarily. I start most of my sites with a blank theme and use Beaver Builder to lay things out.
