Sadly, you have not read enough before making your conclusions. Webby shines with blogs, check http://www.locomotivation.com to see an example.

You can create a blog with two commands in webby:

   $ webby-gen blog "My Blog"
   ...
   $ webby blog:post "Nice weather today"
   [13:27:47]  INFO: creating content/blog/2008/index.txt
   [13:27:47]  INFO: creating content/blog/2008/12/index.txt
   [13:27:47]  INFO: creating content/blog/2008/12/28/nice-weather-today.txt

And it obviously does support categories/tags/article statuses etc. since you can give any property to your page.
