As someone who is an experienced back-end developer, and used Hugo quite early on, and has understood enough of the Hugo/Goldmark integration to write and install a custom markdown plugin, all I can say is that I _completely identify_ with this critique.

I would add:

    - the ecosystem of Hugo theme production/rating seems SEO-scammy
    - the docs seem uncertain on whether you should use “Modules”

That said, I was able to hack pikchr.org support into my blog, and the ability to create beautiful diagrams[1] while previewing with live refresh has been amazing.
