Yea gonna agree with u:bobfunk here that it's really about local development where it matters. And yes it is very fast in my experience, although I don't push it as much as others do. It's also amazing to just have a single binary (or go get -u command) to get going unlike jekyll or the gems to run github's jekyll environment locally. I can't tell you how many times I'd just not blog in a while and need to setup this whole crazy setup for local jekyll and I'd just never write the post because of it. Hugo makes things simple, fast, and extensible. edit: also I usually do the build locally and commit that to a specific repo which has the final rendered version for easy deployment to github and other places. I've made a `Makefile` just to do this easily as `make publish` to get any changes I have build, commited to the rendered repo, and commited to the source repo.
