Agreed - I tried to migrate from Jekyll to Hugo just to try to get Ruby off my computer, and I could not believe that I had to use a theme or else everything broke. My Jekyll site just uses bootstrap and a 50-line CSS file. But if you don't do everything the specific Hugo way - boom everything renders blank, and there are no warnings or errors.
