My take on Hugo is that it tries to be opinionated, but changes its opinion far too much. This doesn't seem to happen with other static site generators like Eleventy, and maybe Astro (I haven't used Astro through enough upgrades to provide a good opinion).
I tend to forget which Hugo version I've used before for a site template that I end up reusing, so I just downgrade Hugo versions until the site finally builds — the saving grace is that every version is its own binary, and there's no dependency hell like some other JS-based static site generators I've used (I'm looking at you, Gatsby!).
