For me the biggest requirement is > 3. It must be fun to build for me that requires a level of abstraction, I don't want to be monkeying with HTML if I don't have to, I just want to write the damn article. That's why I use Hugo, I feel like it hits a fantastic balance between speed for the user and ease of maintenance for me.
