I've been using Hugo as well. I used Pelican (Python port of Jekyll) for a long time, but Hugo is so much more performant and has a larger ecosystem at this point.

The main downside is that the Hugo documentation is sometimes terse and snarky.

With regards to performance, I used Hugo like 3 or 4 years ago now, and it was insanely fast!

Compared to really sluggish build times with Jekyll/Ruby it was incredible!

Some sites went from 10s of seconds to what felt like instant build!

However, with new versions of Ruby and M1 Macs, I dont notice build lag in Jekyll anymore!

And overall, I much preferred Jekyll and the way it structured sites, template and includes! :-)

I switched my blog from Jekyll to Pelican recently after getting sick of constant ruby package versioning issues. It’s pretty nice, though maybe not as good for getting your site to appear on google search
