I didn't know Ruby (for Jekyll) or Go (for Hugo) and while you may not need to know them to get started, I didn't want the learning curve or bulky dependencies to cause friction in the workflow. Also, I just didn't like any of the standard templates and didn't want to think about how I would edit them to suit my needs.
