I don’t get it. Their setup is so much more complicated and limiting than what they had on Wordpress.
I won’t argue with their reasons to move (which don’t stack up for me either but agree to disagree).

- bonzini 6mo agoI use a SSG for a conference. The git repository guides me in doing exactly the same changes every year. I have pre built blocks for the various stages of organization and go through the commits for the previous year to help me understand what to do next.
- iLoveOncall 6mo agoYeah I tried using Hugo instead of WordPress for a brand new website, and the setup was incredibly more complicated and yet limited. I was all for them until trying one, now I don't understand.
- shlewis 6mo agoHugo is not Wordpress alternative, really. It's an static site generator. Wordpress is not static. Trying to do things what only Wordpress can do will introduce a lot of complexity and often will just not work. If all you need is a, well, static website without forms or such, Hugo is an easy winner.
- iLoveOncall 6mo agoThat's exactly what I tried to use it for: a simple website with blog posts and a timeline, everything read-only. It's a pain in the ass to use.
- shlewis 6mo agoI get the complex part: it's not as easy as Wp, but what makes it _limited_ when all you needed was a static website?
