I liked Hugo because it was just one exe for building a static site and I could just use the most basic HTML tools, avoiding all of the over-complicated 16 different build stages job-preserving modern webdev nonsense. I wondered whether I should update my blog theme a bit and looked at recent examples - it now seems normal to pull in npm and compile go modules to expand it all. My eyes! You just can't resist bolting the kitchen sink onto everything, can you web devs? 
Luckily you don't *have* to use any of this, and I won't be. But it's sad to see simplicity get thrown out of the meta even here
