Jekyll has nicer templating, but when you work on large website, Hugo is just much faster.

Bootstrap team is moving their docs to Hugo: https://blog.getbootstrap.com/2019/02/11/bootstrap-4-3-0/#br...

I thought my post made it clear that I was both aware of that and built one of the largest Jekyll sites on the internet.

I'd link the damn thing but I don't want to dox myself.

I was agreeing with you.

Fair enough. Mea culpa.

I do want to stress though that in that case, Hugo's speed wasn't a positive enough tradeoff vs worse templating to switch.

We used both on a case by case basis there. A few dozen online properties. Hugo got used on the simplest stuff, often 4-5 page lead generation sites which is about 30% of what that company did. Speed of builds/deployment is basically the same there, but with Hugo the tooling/pipeline was much simpler.
