I love Hugo. By far it is the fastest blog engine that I have seen. If I need a custom shit done then I will fork the repo and build the needed stuff myself.

Bitching about the free software is unethical. Moreover, the source code is accessible. Change whatever code if you don't like it.

In my experience I've had PRs rejected, so what? People have opinions and not everyone one think of your issue as the blocker. Move on.

"Why don't I like scrambled eggs at that place" - no one cares. Make them yourself or go to another restaurant.

> Bitching about the free software is unethical. I disagree. Of course you should try to keep the language nice and show examples of things that cause you problems, features you are missing or things you don't like but the would be very little progress in OSS projects if no one are allowed to comment at all.
Hence me saying, fork it and change whatever you don't like.
Similarly, if you don't like someone's blog, don't read it. Or at least tell them, not us. Write a better blog or read another one.

Not following the analogy here... But one thing is to post a blog, another is to post a blog and share it on hacker news to generate feedback.
No, it's not. Plus the person who wrote the blog post isn't the person who posted it to HN.
