I've set this up for my parents, they have a small bed and breakfast in the countryside, and they love it. It's much more responsive then their past WordPress install when editing, because their desktop is faster than a cheap PHP hosting. Some things are needlessly complicated in publii though, I'd like to make a more minimal version one day

Ditto, I've used this for my mother's website. She probably could use something even simpler but mostly I'm pretty happy with it.
