From my personal experience, confusing documentation comes from its extreme flexibility which makes a steep learning curve, but once you get your mind around it, it becomes a powerful tool for pretty much anything. Some time ago, I made a very simple blog (https://devandgear.com) in Hugo, which eventually with time evolved into a much bigger and more complex website (>2000 pages), that evolvement was possible thanks to its wide array of tools otherwise it would require a different builder.

I have not used Hugo and I have no idea how powerful it is but I am quite skeptical. It's hard for me to believe that it is more powerful and flexible than Django and Django's documentation is very good.
