As much as I like Hugo, I recently stumbled upon the terrible Go templates! This is probably the strangest and most limited template engine I'm aware of. It might be nice in an application to actually limit what can be done in templates, but in a tool like Hugo where the user can not easily extend the core functionality, more powerful templates would be necessary. I hope Hugo switches to a more powerful template engine one day.

Besides that I agree with the assessment that these tools are from developers for developers. In the end a static site generator is more like a special kind of build tool and less like a CMS (what non-technical users would need).
