My main gripe that it has expanded and changed too much over the years, it seems they want it to do everything now and it's about as complex to configure as it is to write your own simple tool...

Sure, some software needs to be cared for and polished, but hugo was one of those where I converted my site to it, then it simply ran. It's a binary running locally, I don't care about security updates (as I only run it on my own user input) and until I stumble over a bug I can keep using this version as long as the OS will run it..
