> Gatsby is ridiculously fast (React based)

Just wanted to point out that there are at least two kinds of fast: fast to build and fast to load. And while Gatsby-based sites are indeed very fast to load (although I haven't compared a Gatsby site with an optimized Hugo site), they are painfully slow to build.

But it is truly a pleasure to work with; that's for sure!

In develop mode, hot module reload (HMR) changes the text immediately on the screen as you edit. But yes, HMR and caching has some glitching once in a while.

Oh, the develop mode is perfect; it's time required for production build that I was talking about.
