Fast software is the best software. [2] (Comments: [3])
Speed is the killer feature. [4] (Comments: [5])
Slow software is an opportunity for competitors. [6]

- Lammy 5y agoHugo is great until you want to do something it doesn't support. The performance and single-binary nature of Hugo are really cool, but I ended up sticking with Jekyll for its robust plugins API despite the trade-offs in speed and complexity (dealing with gem/bundler, maybe even rbenv, etc)
- ghoward 5y agoThat makes sense; there's always a tradeoff. For me, it was a lot of work to switch from Jekyll to Hugo, and for some, that's not worth it.
