  • The author initially loved Hugo for its speed, simplicity, and effectiveness in solving a real problem.
  • Over time, Hugo became more complex, broke backwards compatibility, and introduced frequent deprecations.
  • The author finds it frustrating to spend hours fixing build failures instead of writing blog posts.
  • Hugo's constant changes and lack of stability have led the author to consider alternatives.
  • The author emphasizes the importance of backwards compatibility and suggests that sometimes software is 'done' and doesn't need further updates.
