Phomph
Summary: Didn't want a content management system (CMS) for various reasons. Engineer of the year, designing wind generation systems so MountainRiver CMS provided a design, using Phomph concepts and hooked them into our development system which allowed them to publish page updates via the version management system (git).
MountainRiver CMS of course doesn't recommend this approach and we had to grab some scripts from 2000 to do just the contact form. Web publishing has a lot more moving parts these days that you don't get for free without a framework.
