I've been using Statamic for a few months now. I've often worked with Laravel, so I tend to really like Statamic. The static content by default feature means you can skip a database altogether if you'd like. Theming and content management is a little bit more of a learning curve, but so much more powerful than something like Wordpress.

I do have one complaint. It can be remarkably difficult to learn how to use Statamic properly. The documentation is a bit lacking. I often struggle to find a solution to a blocker only to find out there's a simple solution that wasn't documented very well. I think this is one of those things that will likely improve as the community continues to grow and mature.

There is a very active discord community that is on hand to help: https://discord.gg/WG9Rucjf

Source available (?) and licenses get expensive quick it looks like (?)

When I last did my survey of what I could use as a CMS I ran into this, looked at the licensing and walked away quickly.

But I may be wrong since I didn't do any more research, .

Source available yes. There is platform licensing starting at $7 per month per site. Prices are comparable to Wordpress + Jetstream + ACF which is functionality you get out of the box with Statamic.

The price of $7 license is only available at a 25 site minimum that makes the minimum cost $175 per month around $2100 yer year.

For a pro license it's $275 upfront with 1 year of updates per site.

That is damn exception from my point of view.

You can use Pods for free on WordPress which is now a better choice than ACF in my opinion. But ACF has a huge marketshare and is better supported.

I mean not sure about JetStream, it seems to be Laravel scaffolding and open source.

Do you mean JetPack? If so I have not used that in a very long time. It had become very bloated.

There are a lot of other choices ut there som that cost less.

Unrelated but that landing page is probably one of the best I've read and seen.
