I remember making the case to spend a few days to testing out Hugo as an alternative to Jekyll for our company's website. At that time, about 3 years go, I bounced off this documentation pretty hard as well. It does not appear to have improved significantly, which is a shame.

On the other hand, I now know that, in cases like this, you'd go watch some video tutorials before going back to the documentation armed with enough conceptual knowledge to maybe prime the pump and make that cryptic documentation start to fall into place (lots of mixed metaphors there). You shouldn't have to, but it's nice that there's the option.
