Simple and easy to use. Everything you need, no more and no less. No bloat and no mess.
Nice
Due to mobiledoc-kit bugs, typing and pasting of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages is not working properly.

I just read about this and it's ridiculous that the issue has been there for 2 years

You have to pay a monthly fee as a subscription, which starts from $ 9 (billed annually). That’s a high price compared to Kirby for example, which costs a one time fee of € 99 + VAT. Not to speak of all those free content management systems.
You can self-host Ghost for free: https://ghost.org/docs/hosting/

good stuff for take a conversations
Install is complicated and doesn't play well with Apache at all. Would like to see a future version play nicely with apache. Really easy to build themes for.
really nice and simple but with that said... it is pretty basic, only for a simple blog I think
