I use and am in favor of Wordpress. However, I’m also in favor of making static site generators easier to use for more people.

Amen, and I think this is the thread creator's point — WordPress doesn't have to "lose" for Hugo to "win", and it's pointless to pick a fight with a wildly different solution that solves a different set of use cases.
- unfocussed_mike 5y agoPretty close, yes -- and I agree in both cases. The thing that bugs me about more or less any article about why static sites are better/easier/simpler is that they all depend on writing off WP as sort of a straw man. I have been playing with Publii again after being nudged towards it by a HN comment, and I think it might be a useful middle ground: https://getpublii.com/ https://getpublii.com/ It's far from perfect but it's kind of cute and fun to use, and definitely easier and more approachable than Hugo.
